I don't know that I have a copy of the MegaPOV code, but I can have a 
look at the POV code this weekend and see if I can determine what it's 
supposed to be doing, since nobody else jumped in here.  That is a 
curious behaviour, though I'm guessing there's no handler for SIGTERM 
(sent from a CTRL-C) and that's what's causing it to exit with a success 
value (I would guess that it is sending an exit code of some sort, just 
not one that indicates failure).
