I am not currently testing version 3.5beta (lack of time unfortunately!),
but I have the following question:

By chance, I discovered that the blackhole warp (especially if you change
the default parameters) results in a system crash (Windows ME) or a program
crash (Windows NT) when used in MegaPOV 07. It does not happen in MegaPOV
06.

I notified Nathan Kopp who asked me if this was also the case in the POV-Ray
3.5beta.

So please, if this could be tested, I am sure Nathan and the POV-Ray team
would be very interested to know.

Best wishes,

Thomas de Groot

That's a known bug of megapov 0.7.  AFAIK it only occurs if you use
turbulence in the balck_hole warp.  It's fixed in PovMan 0.71.4 and does
not occur in Povray 3.5 beta.

Thanks Christoph!
That answers it all, doesn't it? Just shows I have not used the blackhole so
often  ;-}
