Bleh, not so random. I did something to crash quite regularly. And it's 
happening in povconsole64.beta.4 too.  I will update and chase. :(

Another stack thingy?

I'm trying to do 700 quick frames. Most scene features are turned off so 
I can check timings and positions of a new colefax spline move.

It did 2 frames and then:

==============================================================
@@begin
+++ F:0105  myclock=4.3411 clock=0.0750
F:0105  Camera= <488.99, 53.25, 151.06> Lookat= <485.90, 53.25, 162.65>

File '../haus/famroom.inc' line 199: Parse Error: No matching }, camera
  identifier found instead
Fatal error in parser: Cannot parse input.
Render failed
==============================================================

So I start again at frame 105 and it does that one and dies on 106.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Usually it silently fails. When it does say something, it is that odd 
camera in famroom. (Line 199 is a moderate macro that in this case is 
emitting a single tiny clear sphere at the origin to satisfy the 
enclosing union @ line 179.)

@@begin is the second line of code (after #version 3.7)
@@end is the last line of code

The spline preview looks ok...

Were you able to reproduce the crash?

BTW, the offer to explore the crash in VS2015 (=vs14; or did you mean
VS2017 = vs15?) is a feature of the Visual Studio installation on your
computer, not a thing built into POV-Ray ;)

I didn't keep the .pdb generated along with the beta 4 binaries; but
just in case such things happen again, I might upload the next betas'
.pdb files on GitHub.

You might try building a debug version and running that one from VS, so
you have a changce to see where it dies.

> Another stack thingy?

With stack overruns anything might happen. You could, just for giggles,
try increasing the stack, and see whether it crashes later. Or not at all.

I found it.

#range (Start, End)
     #local V=
     #break

I tried this code, but it correctly gives me an "RValue expected"
#version 3.7;
#switch (1)
         #range (0,1)
         #local V=
         #break
#end

So, here's another uber-trimmed tteoac.
wget http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/video/ttcrash2.bz2
tar -xvjf ttcrash2.bz2
cd ttto
povray ttto.ini -sf100 -ef100

Note in ttto/direct.inc line 133
	#local _v=
If you comment that out, it doesn't crash
(It also won't render much, because everything is gone)

Whines about "beatdebug.inc" missing.

Fixed cut/paste instructions (was a bad cd)

wget http://www.buckosoft.com/tteoac/video/ttcrash2.bz2
tar -xvjf ttcrash2.bz2
cd ttcrash2/ttto
povray ttto.ini -sf100 -ef100


My theory from the stack trace was that it gave up on a #declare's 
rvalue, and double freed it.  That seems to be likely.

This crash also is in 3.7.0, which is what runs when I paste the above 
into ubuntu.
