Suddenly luxrender fails to render anything.

Really weird problem.

Suddenly Luxrender is throwing the following error when I'm passing it my scenes.

[2013-11-12 11:30:59 Info: 0] Freeing resources.
[2013-11-12 11:30:59 Info: 0] Freeing resources.

Now this doesn't happen with every scene, but here's the weird part. If I completely empty the scene, and then add something like a primitive that should render fine? It does exactly the same thing. Apparently it's got nothing to do with anything in the scene at all. It's the scene itself that's the problem.

Anybody seen this? Got a clue for me?

Greetings,
I would start by seeing, if you can, what's on lines 69-71 of d52.lxs (bracketing the line the error is on, just in case it's something before or just after). It's possible that'll give you some insight into what's going wrong.

Well that was a pretty good clue. Sometimes you just need somebody to point out the obvious.

-u 208.123.**.** -u 208.123.**.**

is what's on line 70

Which are the IP addresses of the servers that I'm using as render slaves. However, I'm not telling the exporter to use them, it's decided to all on it's own.

I'm testing to see if saving the file with different render settings fixes this. Thanks for the assist.
