Searching the web view of news.pov turned up a number of posts with
this error but no definitive answer.

An entrant in IRTC around 1998 (?) said turning off light_buffer
solved his problem.

Google gives a number of links that show other applications have this
error. In some cases memory was stated to be available, but again, no
explanation that I understood.

I have 160MB, Win98SE and around 9 gig free disc space. In my case,
photon count in the stats line increased to around 78K in about 6
seconds and pov then froze for a few hours before giving up. No disc
operation was evident.
