[Bf-committers] Patch #3760 Regression in 2.44

[Early Ehlinger]

Hi All,

I just spent a couple of hours adding Blender_Trace statements (See 
Patch 6161) to hunt down a crash in Blender 2.44 for a customer.  It 
turns out that G.vd is NULL, and the check for G.vd being NULL was 
removed sometime between Jan '06 and Blender 2.44.

My guess is this happened when the following snip was moved from 
BIF_do_render to do_render, but that's just a guess:

            if(G.vd->lay & 0xFF000000) {
                G.scene->lay |= G.vd->lay;
                G.scene->r.scemode |= R_SINGLE_LAYER;
            }
            else G.scene->lay= G.vd->lay;

Can anybody else confirm that this is a problem?  I'm waiting for my 
customer to give permission to use his .blend file, which reproduces it 
every time, but I suspect that Cory's script from Jan'06 will do the 
trick, too.

In the meantime, I'll see if I can get current CVS going and submit a 
patch against it.
