Well, in a sense it did: While POV-Ray 3.62 occupied only one core on a 
multicore system, POV-Ray 3.7 gets them all busy; I suspect that might 
be making things worse as far as system stability goes.

But POV-Ray 3.62, too, would take ages to render out of swap memory, and 
probably make the system quite unstable, too.
