Hello,
This error message appears in Povray 3.5 when I try to render a truetype
font called "Bach", using Moray:

Parse Error: Attempt to malloc zero size block (file: ..\
..\source\truetype.cpp line: 1275)

Also, when it does this it disables both Povray and Moray and anything else
running in Windows until I use alt-ctr-del to shut it down.
When I try the same thing using Povray 3.1, I get a slightly different error
message:

tex.pov:85: error: Attempt to malloc zero size block (File: ..\..\TRUETYPE.C
Line: 1212).

And with 3.1 the system doesn't lock up. What do you make of that?
