Without presuming of the windows port, there is a single place for such
error (at least for a unix port): povms.cpp, circa line 883.

It's in POVMS_Send.

Default timeout is 10 s, but in case of _DEBUG defined, vfe/vfeconf.h
define it to 100 s;

As far as I can see, the timeout is a POVMS property ('TOUT') but is not
settable per ini file.
So, you get stuck 10s (of wall time) and the POVMS system get no
progress on its messages...

What is at the line 39 (and around) of
"C:\$user\pfa_demo\gini\subsurf_mh_f11j.pov" ?

Is the file included on a network drive ? (auto-umount ? any
screen/power saver ? (turn disk off after xx minutes of inactivity ? no
mouse movement-->inactive... ))
