You could increase the size of your swap in order to have more memory
available. If you don't have a 64bit processor, the upper border for
this solution is 2GB or 4GB memory.
I don't know whether using swapping will slow down rendering, since I'm
not sure what povray means with 'intermediate' in the error message.
