Well, compile the standard unix version of POVray, it needs no mods, and
compiles with no errors. Then try tracing the standard scene file
'Sunset'. This causes an immediate crash every time.

Some other scene files cause a crash, but not until they have at least
partly traced.

Next question about gcc for RiscBSD. Does the code conform to the APCS?
If not (and I suspect it wouldn't), what does it conform to, and where
can I get details please? I want to link ARM code and C together, like I
can under RISCOS :)
