Hi Folks,

I've posted a similar message on the Windows group about a small, apparently
sensible scene, throwing an unhandled exception.

I've now tried a very similar scene on beta 14, causing it to exit on
completion. The scene is appended below. I can see nothing wrong with the
scene code and I'd appreciate knowing why it fails.

System: 933MHz PIII, 512Mb, Win XP Pro SP2, PoV-Ray
v3.7.0.beta.14.icl8.win32

Bye for now,

Mike Andrews.
