maya exporter: surfaces versus polygons

[black_13]

I am using maya 7.0 and trying and the dagon version of ogre and the exporter tools that i compiled myself, (so i could have debug versions and i could debug).

when i try to export a simple shape that is a surface.

i was getting:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

but when i export a polygon it works that is generates
a mesh and and a mesh.xml file.

did i miss a notice or place where i should have read that?

AFAIK exporting surfaces is not supported (at least the last time I used the maya exporter it wasn't), convert your surface object to a polygon object and export it afterwards.
