Possible a precision error of some sort (which seem to be reasonably common
with height-fields) - you could try finishing the rendering using the +C
command line option.  Failing that, cropping the image (and giving thanks
that POV-Ray allows you to buffer the output to disk!) should be fine in
this case.  Generally, moving the camera position/look_at very slightly
should stop the crash.
