I've tried this on two machines, one running win98, the other running win2k
sp2. on both machines povwin crashed right when I pressed run. This hasn't
occured with anyother scene files I've tried to render. The 98machine gave
me an illegal operation and the 2k machine gives an error stating "The
exception unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occured in the application
at location 0x0046bd9b"
