s is reserved for isosurface.

Actually, any error line that has a % in it has the potential to cause a
crash in POV (even in the official versions).  This wasn't usually a problem
because % wasn't used very often in POV code.

The problem is because POV treats the error line as a C format string (think
of it as a printf).

This will be fixed in the next versions of MegaPov and POV-Ray.

Is there a way to use the % symbol to get the mod of a number?  Or is there
another way to get a number mod another number in POVRAY?

Sorry im new; this post probably should have gone in another topic.

  Use the mod() function.

  And could you please either be more specific about the issue or use the
correct terminology? That is: What do you mean by "crash"? An error message
is certainly not a "crash"; it's an error message. If, however, a true
crash happens, then you should promptly report it.
