1.5.1 RC3 Issues / unstability

I think that the bug is not produced by a specific method (MLT)
but rather for something else - being some material instruction
or the intersection engine.
It is weird, but I have the feeling that the scene sent by Tomasz
shows exactly this bug!! (the church with black stripes). I believe
now that some code writes to undefined memory. The good thing
is that the scene by Tomasz although big, shows the bug immediately
so, now I am trying to exchange some code to isolate it.

I am taking my crash scene, deleting things one-by-one, and eventually I will isolate our 'problem child'... but cannot guarantee I will find it quickly.

this is the method I used to isolate a problem w/ a ACAD model once, and it worked.

hi,

I have finally found out that the problem is actually memory leak
which happens during image refresh.

Many thanks to Fletch, Pentti & Lekonna for their efforts,
giannis

ps. as a workaround, until RC4 comes out, before leaving an
overnight render running, hide both the quick-preview and rendered
image windows.
