Sounds like some memory error. How big is the Rhino file (.3DM)? If it
is some MB and its contents is not a secret, then if You will, send it
to me (specify export settings as well!) and I try to find out, what is
wrong (I have Rhino, W2K and 256 MB of memory, so almost same setup, as
your's). Given of course, that I have enough time :-)
BTW, does it happen with official version of POV-Ray? Have You tried
MegaPOV?

P.S. If You decide to send mail to me and it bounces back, then try my
work address (vah### [at] aetecee), as I don't know yet, how big mails are
allowed by service provider.
