Hi,
scene :
http://www.raf256.com/pov/rad_crash_1.pov

crashes my Pov 3.5 Win32 sometimes.
Probably this is connected with radiosity settings, mostly with very low 
count value (2)

Pov displayed some info about internal error, and then keept displaying in 
infinte loop message like :
  objects.cpp line 887
  NULL object removed 
in messages window

-- 
#macro g(U,V)(.4*abs(sin(9*sqrt(pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))))*pow(1-min(1,(sqrt(
pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100
);g(2*div(l,10)-8,2*mod(l,10)-8)*p(div(c,100))#else 1#end#end light_source{

POV crashes exacly after end of render (even last line is written to 
outputfile)
oh, this time I get same error msg-box, but after clicking [ok] POV didn't 
display this NULL messages, but just :

nope... my scene crashes POV often - every time just after end of rendering 
- probably while dealocating memory. 
Scene uses almost only blob and radiosity - probalby second future causing 
the problem.

I did some tests now,
160x120 - 0 crashes in 5 renders
512x384 - 2 crashes in 3 renders (AFIAR expecialy with mosiac preview, yes 
I know that mosaic shouldnt be used iwth radio)

Can someone please tell did this scene crashes on his computer ?

I ran it 10 times at various resolutions with and without AA and not once
did it crash or return an error message. Subsequently, I cannot confirm
that this is a bug in POV-Ray for Windows version 3.5.icl.win32. I also
cannot explain why you are having this problem.

I will do some more tests on various machines.
However, it is very possible that this was a hardware problem with my 
computer - few hours later it started crashing every 15 minutes (not in 
POV) - and now it's back from service.
