The BMP file remains afterwards.  The +c was used after the render had
completed a few lines then allowed to run overnight.  Then the next morning
(after 600 lines were completed) povray started over.  I have tried to
"restart" this render several times and it always wants to start over.  This
doesn't happen with every scene only SOME scenes.

What would cause povray to decide that it had to start at the top of the
image?  Is there a marker within the BMP file that povray looks for and for
some reason it can't see it and starts over? Hows does povray know where to
restart?  This image takes a LONG time to render so continuing is a
necessity.

I am using Windows XP with 256 meg ram, 15 gig free HD space.
