I've been experiencing the same error.

However, I wasn't as thorough about trying to identify the causes. I didn't
think of trying to see what would happen if I disabled radiosity.

come on Aq .... this was taking an exciting turn until the name calling. You 
and I have collaborated on stuff in the past, and I've noticed your unique 
communication style. I decided to work with you rather than against you. 
You're a quarky fellow and so am I!  Haven't you learned to play well with 
others yet;-)

Cheers Jim

  I don't think that kind of language is appropriate for this newsgroup
(nor the whole news server), so you should stop it.

Exactly! I get the "Parse Error: Cannot open input file", too. Did you also use
the 64bit version? If not, maybe using the 32bit exe would be a workaround for
the moment...

I think I might have to set up a minimal example scene which produces the error
so the devs can have a look at it.

In the meantime: Nobody know a place where I could get beta 15?

No, I've been using the 32-bit version. It's annoying, because it makes
rendering animations a real pain in the butt.

It appears to me that reducing the radiosity count from 300 to 200 solves the
problem, but that's of course no satisfactory solution. I added this
information to

Oh, yes please! (*rubs his hands in excitement for another scene to test on*)

I'd be surprised if there was. I guess officially it wouldn't be allowed to
distribute it anymore - let alone that I'd expect it to have lots of other
drawbacks.
