I seem to be getting strange results here.  I have a 300-frame animation
segment I'm rendering.  Everything seems to go well until the render has
been running for a few hours (~5).  Then, I see new error messages
appearing, such as:

--

Rendering frame 62 of 300

Scene contains 8978 frame level objects; 1 infinite.

 05:13:21 so far, Possible Rendering Error: Cannot write PNG data.
Possible Rendering Error: Cannot write PNG data.

However, frame 62 finishes normally (it looks fine), and then POV-Ray stops
rendering frame 63.

Strangely, if I restart the process at frame 63 (or even 62), things
continue along normally.  No rendering error of any sort.  Am I somehow
building up 'residue' from previous renders?  Is there some way to 'flush'
this each time to start fresh?

Any light shed on this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
