scene crashing

hello everybody
I got a scene which is always crashing after some time. It's hardly materialized yet, so I'm guessing it must be the geometry or an emitter causing the problem. I'll try to switch them off and the on again, one after the other.
Could I send somebody the scene for bug fixing? Or helping me find the cause ...

much appreciated, cheers

Yes, but I don't have a crash yet. Does it happen in a certain resolution or SL?

it happened at 3000x2000 after a few hours (don't know what sample level) on a windows machine.
we hid the water-drop lamps and it doesn't crash anymore ... don't know if the problem is an combination of geometry with emitter and texture.

Crash at 3000 x 2000 in a few hours? Oops, sorry this is way hard to track. What's your operating system?

It's windows 7, 64bit on a Mac Pro 8core. Must have crashed around SL12 or so ...
Well never mind. It think it was the texture on the Bulb-Lamps. After disabling it, it works good.

I had a similar problem. I just re-rendered every time with a new CPUID and merged 10 files of SL 12 ...
