  [win] ini dlg crash - stack overflow (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

Intel b10 compile on Win95B
Open the ini dlg, press clear, exit POVWin, restart POVWin & bring up the
ini dlg
This causes a unhandled stack overflow exception according to MSVC++,
usually in Kernel32.dll
This occurs when the secondary ini path (SecondaryINIFile in pvengine.ini)
ends in a directory
 (eg %POV%\renderer\ or %POV%\Insert Menu\ ) under and including the pov
install dir, but not always
Bye,

Interesting, yes indeed it does crash POV-Ray for me too... under WinXP it
simply closes without a trace (no pun intended).
What's worse is that I can't get back into the INI dialog again now (darn
you ;-)) and Tools menu then Edit Resolution INI also fails claiming unable
to locate a .txt file.

For anyone testing that out yourselves, to get back to normal again:

Edit the POV-Ray\ini\pvengine.ini file and add quickres.ini to the end of
the line under [General] which says SecondaryINIFile=
