I ran into this problem as well with my custom compile of POV-Ray.  For
unknown reasons, the code for saving TGA images sometimes does not compile
properly, and as a result, the most significant byte of the image size is
not written properly.  The fix is as follows:

In file TARGA.C line 282 or so, fully parenthesize the four lines of code
for writing the image width and height, so that you get the following:

      /* write width and height  Bytes 12 - 15 */

      putc(((*width) % 256), handle->file);
      putc(((*width) / 256), handle->file);
      putc(((*height) % 256), handle->file);
      putc(((*height) / 256), handle->file);

Then recompile POV-Ray.  This should fix the problem.
