Crashing after a feel frames on Animated GI

I'm using LW 11.0.3 and Kray 2.5.1 to do some Animated GI using the default preset...

Everything goes well when trying to render single frames. But when i try to render the animation lightwave craches at the end of the 5th frame.

I thought could the problem could be the new Bullet Dynamics plugin, so i converted every dynamics for MDD and reloaded but with no success. I tried reinstalling the plugin, reinstalling LW and the plugin, also tried LW 10, but no way a could get this to work. I was about to try LW 9 but i can't get it to work again because i changed my Newtek dongle. My scene has just two object, no fancy materials, just diffuse, simple reflective and one light emitter. No other plugins being used.

I'm running on a Retina MBP with 16GB RAM on OSX 10.8.2. I'm also including the Kray Log as well as the Sysntem LOG file and link to a zip file with the scene and object but running with Bullet Dynamics since the MDD file is too heavy to post.

Scene files:

hope to solve the problem, i just purchased Kray for this animation and is pretty frustrating.

Thanks,

I tested on Windows and it works. So it looks like it's mac plugin issue. I will assign this to developer to check it out.

I tried on my imac late 2009 core i7, 8Gb RAM, snow leopard.
So far (frame 6) so good.
While loading the scene, I've got a warning about a missing plugin (maxwell layered material) though. Maybe you should clean it, third party plugin should make some trouble with a renderer that doesn't support them.

Yes, I tried maxwell after I had no luck with kray. It's the same without it.

Thanks for testing.
