Depth of Field shader appears black

[atyss]

Hello everyone,

I'm running Soft 3.9.2.2. When previewing or rendering a frame with a depth of field shader, my frame becomes totally black when the renderer processes the effect.

I turned the Strength and Max COC parameters to zero, and now my frame is ok. It is really when it has to apply the effect that my frame is obscurated.

Anyone has similar problem?
Maybe I'm missing something, but since I used this shader several times before, I expected it worked the same way!

I made some tests with Soft 3.8SP2, and now the shader renders correctly. So it is really a Soft 3.9.2.2 issue.
I also tried the render on a NT4 and Win2000 machine, with same results.

Thanks a lot
