This problem should be fixed now. Visitor numbers are back to normal (i.e. 30 to 50 visitors or so). Compare that to 5541 visitors one week ago...

Hmm, with Hollywood 10.0 only PolarDistortBrush() crashes here, with the latest Hollywood master I don't get any crashes at all so it might have been fixed already but I'm not sure. I'll check.

Clearly a bug, will be fixed. Thanks for reporting!

These are old functions from the days of Hollywood 1.x. They are just there for compatibility with old scripts. You shouldn't use them in new code because they will be much slower than using operators because their use involves a function call while operators will directly map to VM opcodes.
