Not happening here in WinPOV beta 11 icl on a WinXP system.

At what point does it freeze?  During parse,  bounding slabs, vista buffer,
light buffer, or render?

  Perhaps it's just slow?

Its a power book it can not be that slow, or someone changed the laws of
physics... just joking... everything is froze the mouse pointer, the program,

Completely frozen... Why... ??

Confirmed. Beta 11, Powerbook G3 266MHz, 192MB RAM, MacOS 9.2.2 US;
rendering 320*120, all other settings default.

Closer analysis reveals it's a memory issue:
With the default allocation of 14919K it freezes right at the beginning of
parsing.
25000K - freeze somewhere in the middle of parsing.
45000K - quit with error 1 at "Creating bounding slabs".
48000K - "
49000K - freeze in the middle of rendering line 10.
50000K - renders fine.


Ryan, if you have time, could you have a look at my "Mac GUI partial image
oddities" (http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/21765/)?
Thorsten says he is unable to reproduce it, while I am unable not to
reproduce it.

Ah, thanks!  I could now reproduce it and it will be fixed in the next beta.

Of course, 50 MB will still be required to render abyss.pov!

<snip>

Just out of curiousity, and for us non-mac-aware-bods, what sort of bug is this
and how is it resolved?

How is the default allocation set - by the prog., the system or the user? Can it
change dynamically (i.e. as the prog. is running and requires it)?
