When using my IsoWood include on megapov 0.7 it crashes in some cases.  It
seems to be a problem related to black_hole warps with turbulence.  I
tried to deactivate the transformable warps patch, the only new thing in
the warp code, but it does not seem to help.  The problem is reproducible
occuring always at the same position but at different positions in the
MSVC and my own (Cygwin) compile.  

The problem is not related to isosurfaces, it also occurs with simple
textures and it vanishes if i comment out the 'turbulence' in the warp
statement.

The crashes I was experiencing had either radiosity or black_hole warp in
them.  Not a coincidence perhaps?  Other scenes haven't done so.  I have put
radiosity statements into most of my more recent scene files.  Some
relationship with turbulence and radiosity?

I had no problems with radiosity at all, right now rendering a large
radiosity scene without problems.

Yeah, but stopped and rendered again?  That seems to have been the problem
here, however I haven't been rendering any files containing it now.  Don't
see why it would have changed anyway so I guess it still crashes.

Do you mean continued render with '+c'?

Don't know, because i'm rarely doing that when using radiosity.

No, rendering then only stopping and starting again.  Not restarting MegaPov
or continuing either.

Never had problems with that.

Christoph,
try fixes from my site: either download POVMan binary 0.71 or just
corrected files (warps.c is file under question) and recompile them. I
believe that I've found the problem and corrected it. At least Your
isowood demo scene worked OK after these corrections. And let me know,
whether this helped!

I tried your Windows binary and it worked, many thanks!

Did not yet have time to compile it myself so i have not yet checked
warp_pattern but that will probably work too.
