Can anyone make sense of this?  Even better, suggest how to fix it?  I 
am running povray3.5 under w2k on an Athlon 650 with 512 mb of ram.  My 
photons block is as follows:

     photons {
       count 100000
       media 100    // media photons
       max_trace_level 5
       save_file "fotons"
       autostop 0
     }

The message screen was as follows:
