// This scene crashes the POV-ray 3.6.1c randerer on my computer
// when run with the following parameters:
//
//  -w800 -h600 +HTN
//
// My system's info:
//  Intel P4, 3.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM
//  Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, SP 2
//  POV-ray 3.6.1c.icl8.win32
//
// Camera parameters seem to have a major impact on where in the image
// the crash occurs (if at all), but with higher resolution and/or
// higher-quality radiosity settings it is hard to find a camera angle
// that does NOT crash the renderer.
//
// Note that the error occurs regardless of light sources and objects
// in the scene; it happens both with and without the commented-out
// light_source and box statements.
