My latest work, Megapov XRS, enables distributed rendering using Megapov
1.2.1
http://www.gammaburst.net/xrs/
I think I've driven poor Jaime crazy trying to find what's been making it
segfault on his AMD64 system! I've tested it on Cygwin and 32-bit Linux and
it's reasonably stable.
I could use some feedback with regards to usability, and any 64-bit users
trying it out would be greatly appreciated. You don't even really need more
than one CPU to try it ;)
Regards,
George

The segfault on the 64-bit system is pasted below. So far, I've been unable
to find out why this happens. However I did suggest running with "-D" in
the command line to see if not calling POV_Std_Display_Init() will avoid
the segfault...

Kill the program being debugged? (y or n)

FYI we discovered this could be avoided if the server is run with the "-D"
option. The display should always be disabled anyway. Going to fix this in
the next update. Thanks Jaime!
