As I understand it POV does everything in floating point, which means the
largest number is ridiculously big (I expect way more than billions, 'cause
you can do 2 billion in integers). What it also means is that nothing is
ever precise, floating points suffer from a variable accuracy. so the bigger
the number the bigger the errors.

Dunno if that's of much help :(
