POV 3.5 b 9 on PII 233 128 MB with NT 4 Sp 6

checking fix of "Bug with intersection stack (job000175) I found following
script causes crash:

#local S=sphere{0,1};
#local N=<0,0,0>;
global_settings{max_intersections 0}
#local I=trace(S,2*x,-x,N);

Any confirmation ?

Yes, I can confirm the crash. If you move the
global_settings{max_intersections 0}
to the top of the file, you'll get an parse error instead (Attempt to malloc
zero size block).
