BumpMapping makes Celestia Crash
What do you mean by "turned on Bump mapping"?
Please post the ssc entry that you used and a description of or link to the image file.
Normally you have to provide a greyscale image (not color!) as the bumpmap in one of the textures subdirectories,
add one line to the ssc file which invokes it,
and another line which provides the height scale.
An example is the bumpmap that Celestia uses for Mars:
"marsbump1k.jpg" is in the directory textures/medres.
More sophisticated bumpmapping can be done using dds files, but I'll leave the explanation of that to Fridger

BumpHeight 2.5"marsbump1k.jpg" is in the directory textures/medres.
