POV 3.5 b 12 icl on WinNT Sp 6 PII 233 with 128 MB
I have created one-line-script:
#local S="1";
and it is parsed ok and produce black image. I doubled content of string to:
#local S="11";
and it is parsed ok and produce black image. I doubled content of string to:
#local S="1111";
and it is parsed ok and produce black image. I doubled content of string to:
(I rpeated this step to achive 256 characters in string literal)
and it is parsed ok and produce black image. I doubled content of string to:
#local S="111111111..." // 512 repetitions of "1"
and behaviour is not stable:
- sometimes parsing stops with parse error: string too long
- sometimes parsing is ok and produce black image
- once I achived violation window - I coudln't close this window - every hit
on OK caused new appearance of this window (it looked like message from code
max but unfortunatelly I didn't noticed its content) - I had to kill it via
task manager.
Experimenting further I can't duplicate this behaviour so I suppose it was
somehow connected with actual history of actions in pov-gui. Anyway I'm
reporting - perhaps somebody can duplicate this.

This is fixed in the next beta - strings will have a length limit again.
