Hey,

I'm rendering particles with instanced objects, and I'm using the rasterizer because that's seems to be the only way to render anything at all without crashing really. But on a bunch of frames I get this:

[...]
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: pixel preview     off
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: lens              off
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: volume            on
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: geometry          off
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: displace          off
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: premultiply       on
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: colorclip         raw
' INFO : RC   0.3  info : option: outpu Debugging interfaces not available - debugging is disabled..
FAILED: EXIT CODE=255

Can't really decipher the last line before the fail. It sometimes looks different, but it just quits instantly. I can render locally, apart from a few MR crashes and some weird glitches, like random lines across the image from some particle reaching towards the lower left end of the image. The actual render is pretty quick, but on the farm it never gets to that stage of the render. The scene seems simple and straight-forward to me.

What should I be looking for here? This is going to turn into a nightmare if I need to re-render this when there is less time to spare..

Thanks!
