I thought of that response too, but then realized that if you're passing 
frames to different instances of POV then you might have a case of 
instance #1 opening a file for output, instance #2 seeing the file isn't 
finished, and both instances trying to write to it.

Checking, instead, if the file exists before rendering seems a much 
better solution (especially combined with +C, which makes it darn near 
elegant).
