I recently downloaded the 3.7 RC2 and decided to render all the sample .pov
files.

When I try to render the "optics.pov" file, the program crashes with a "memory
access violation".  I did the short memory dump and a pop-up box said that it
would be uploaded to povray servers.

FYI, I commented out the entire contents and systematically re-enabled pieces
until I narrowed down the line of code causing the crash.  In the second "box"
statement after the "Block" macro definition is an "interior" statement:

    interior
    {
        media
        {
=====>>     scattering {1, color White extinction 0}
            //emission color White*0.2
            method 3
            intervals 1 samples 4
        }
    }

If I comment out the "scattering" statement, everything else renders with no
error.

I just thought someone might find the information helpful.
