Unrecognized C++ exception

Deadline
1

I've been seeing a new error on our farm and I'm pretty new at sifting through the error logs.  I was wondering if anybody could help me figure out what this new error actually means.  The following is what appears in the "error log" that I get from deadline.

Hi Jonathan,



Which version of Deadline are you running? I checked our mental ray

plugin in Deadline 2.7 and 2.6, and neither have a

“ProcessMentalRayReturnCode.ffs” script, nor a

“PostMentalRayRenderTasks.ffs” script. Is this a custom plugin you have

written?



Something is causing the plugin code to crash after

“PostMentalRayRenderTasks.ffs” finishes executing (based on the stdout

in the error log). Maybe you could zip up and post the plugin you’re

rendering with, and we could take a look to see if anything appears out

of the ordinary.



Cheers,

Thanks for the response.  If we're unable to fix the script, I will post it for you to take a look at.
