I'm running M$ Win NT Server ver 4.0 with no service packs installed on
a Intel Pentium 120MHz and 64 MbRam.

Pvengine crashed on the included files. Looks like a problem
with the camera inside a height field (?).

I include the drwatson log file.

 It is not a bug.

  One of the few things Pov will not allow is having your camera
at a y+ direction and your other 2 axis set to zero with a look_at
set to xyz 0. You need to more your camera either +/- x or +/- z
just a little bit and it will not crash on you. You could try: 

camera { location < 0 , 2.5, -0.0001 > look_at < 0, 0, 0 > }

This is all it takes to keep the fault from happening. You will not
notice the slight displacement from being off center.
