For some reason, POV 3.1 crashed when it tried to render something from 3.5.
I checked all the compatiility issues- the only thing that could be causing
it is the "transmit all 0.5". Source:

#include "colors.inc"
#declare plogo=merge {
   sphere {2*y, 1}
   difference {
      cone {2*y, 1, -4*y, 0}
      sphere {2*y, 1.4 scale <1,1,2>}
   }
   difference {
      sphere {0, 1 scale <2.6, 2.2, 1>}
      sphere {0, 1 scale <2.3, 1.8, 2> translate <-0.35, 0, 0>}
      rotate z*30 translate 2*y
   }
   rotate <0, 0, -25>
   translate <-0.5,-0.25,0>
   scale 1/4.625
}

light_source{<0,4,-6> White*1.25}
camera{location<0,0,-2.5> look_at 0}
sky_sphere{pigment{granite scale 0.01 color_map{[0 Black][0.475 Black][0.5
White][0.525 Black][1 Black]}}}

sphere{0,0.875 pigment{image_map{sys "earthmap.bmp" map_type 1 transmit all
0.5}} finish{diffuse 1}} //earth- here's where it crashes

light_source{<0.625,0.625,-0.625> White*0.75 fade_distance 0.1875 fade_power
2}
object{plogo pigment{White} finish{diffuse 1.5 ambient 0.25}}

What's going on here?

Are you using a palleted 8 bit .bmp? The 'transmit all' only works
with 256 color palleted image files. Not that it explains the crash
but it is something that you should know anyway. Try converting the
.bmp to a .gif file and see if the problem persists.

Thx. I'll try that.
