Bug - vraylightmtl w/diffuse illumination in xref scene hangs at render

[cgrant3d]

If you have a vraylightmtl with direct illumination enabled in an xref scene then when you render from your master scene max will hang and display "transforming vertices" ...

For example - in a new file create a sphere and give it a vraylightmtl and turn on direct illumination. Save this file. Reset max, File / References / Xref Scenes and add a reference to your previously saved file. Hit render and max will lock up.

I've attached an example file in Max 2010 format though I've verified this happens in 2009 (SP1) and 2010 (SP1+Connectivity). We're running VRay SP3a on XP64.
