Sub-d's keep aborting MR render!

Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold

This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

This keeps coming up every few times I render my scene and it aborts the process:

// Warning: (Mayatomr.Geometry) : BaseShape, subdivision surface contains creases on boundary edges which are unsupported and have been ignored //

// Warning: (Mayatomr.Geometry) : BulbShape, subdivision surface contains creases on boundary edges which are unsupported and have been ignored //

// Warning: (Mayatomr.Geometry) : BackShape, subdivision surface contains creases on boundary edges which are unsupported and have been ignored //

// Error: *Fatal* (mental ray) : mental ray encountered a fatal error. The system may have become unstable. Please save the scene and exit Maya. //

What does that all mean and how can I fix it?

Thanks,

it will render them but artifacts or other things may go wrong
