Emitter inside SSS Material crashes!

Hi,

I´m experimenting with emitters and SSS at the moment and I´m experiencing crashes when I put some geometry that contains an emitter material inside of a geometry with an SSS material. I´m using the latest Maxwell (2.0.1) and Maya Plugin (2.0.31) on a Mac Pro Nehalem 8 core, 6 GB RAM, running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I´ve put a demo file for this phenomenon on my server. You can download the Maya 2010 file here:

It´s a simple cube with SSS material and a plane with an emitter material inside this cube.

It´s crashing when trying to render this. If you set the SSS coefficient to 0 (e.g. switch off SSS) the thingy renders fine. It´s also working when you place the plane out of the cube.

So what´s going on here?

Thanks,
Marco

This is an engine problem, moving it to the engine section.
