	Do you really think such a minimal information will suffice
to know what can be the cause of your problem?  You do even fail to
mention which version of POV-Ray you are using...

	At which moment the segfault occurs?  Do you have any console
output appearing, or does it crash as you as you start it?  Does it
crash when you use display?  You can also try recompiling the program
by configuring it so as to include debugging data useful for the GNU
debugger GDB.
	Please  try the following, from the root directory of your
povray source distro:

% make distclean
% ./configure --enable-debug [additional options]
% make
% gdb ./unix/povray
(gdb) run ./scenes/advanced/biscuit.pov -f +d
_some_error_messages_should_appear_here_
(gdb) backtrace
(gdb) quit

	and report the full output messages.

	Thanks,
	- NC

i'm using the latest 3.6 source. it compiles fine. the seg fault occurs
after parsing right when rendering begins. i'm not really sure why that is.
i've tried this on openbsd on an old pentium computer, and povray compiles
and renders just fine. i've never debugged anything before. i'll give that
a try

here's the gdb output with backtrace (i have no idea what all this means):

	That means it's worth looking at what's going on here, since this
is the first time such problem is reported.  The problem seems to be
within POV-Ray and not within your system or compiler:

	We'll investigate this.

	Thanks for reporting,

	Could you please mail me the config.log file that you should
have in the source distribution root directory ?  Send your mail to
<pov### [at] freefr> ;  I need your e-mail address for future contact,
if you agree to help me working on this problem.
	Thanks,
