One suggestion. move the camera back so it's no longer
inside of the fractal. Pov reports an error message that
the camera is inside of a non-hollow object. I moved
the camera back to z*-50 just to see what would happen
and the scene rendered to 45% without problems. That is
to say once it hit 45% I presumed I had figured out your
problem and didn't bother rendering the rest of your scene.

hooe I've been of some help to you in your dilemma.
