  Beta2 crashes while parsing peeper.pov (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Message: <405f725e$1@news.povray.org>
I was trying to render a file that was posted here a while ago and POV crashes 
while parsing (last message is "parsed 38150 tokens").  Even after a reboot. 
3.5 has no problem with it on the same machine.

Since I had problems with other files as well, more testing reveals that as soon 
as there is a "warning" sent to the message window, POV crashes (e.g. any file 
with radiosity) or an "error" (e.g. Peeper.pov, mentioned above - because of a 
"Possible error: the camera is inside a non-hollow object" message).  This is 
probably the same problem that Martial reported on the 16th.

Disabling all console messages (-GA) stops it from crashing and the file renders 
properly.

Disabling console messages and sending them to a file (-GAfile.txt) renders the 
image, but POV stops responding to the system after the render and has to be 
killed by the task manager.

As a side note, the file in that last example uses unix EOL delimiters and is 
hard to read in Notepad (Wordpad works, though).
