It did finish! Here are some statistics.

Total rays traced: 1331912707

Biggest number shown in stats: 292325860305, the amount of tests done 
against "Blob bound". Thanks POV-Ray for using 64-bit integers in stats! 
2^32 rays are NOT enough for everybody :)

Roots tested: 37510258644

Number of photons shot:      1328994234
Surface photons stored:         1481333 (0.11% of total photons shot)
Priority queue insert:          1758546
Priority queue remove:          1023832

Image resolution was 160x120, since all I wanted was the photons. It 
rendered at 6 pixels per minute.

The photon map file is only 29MB!

@Sven: I'll send you the photon map. Can I post the (tiny) image to the 
newsgroup, or is the scene "secret"? :)
