Hello,

i've got the following problem and don't know whether it's a bug in povray
or in my setup:

I've set up a few shell-scripts which prepair some .pov-Files regularly and
everything works fine when executing them on bash directly. When i put the
main-shell script into a cronjob (user root) everything (creating pov-files,
moving something around
...) works perfectly but povray drops out with

./mdf2navi.sh: line 41: 23667 Segmentation fault
     /usr/local/bin/povray -GW -GS -GR -GD -GF 1,1,5.pov


The system is a linux-system, uname -a: Linux gonro 2.4.19-4GB #1 Fri Sep 13

Any hints?
