What -- no functions? No macros? No arrays? No spline-based movement? ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if the memory leaks turned out to be related not

Nah, the +SF and +EF options don't have much of an effect on the way
POV-Ray operates; it just changes how it computes the frame_number and
clock, that's all.
