Pardon me if I am asking something stupid, but does this mean that POV-Ray
currently reacts to a quit apple event differently than to a user selecting
the "right" Quit menu item? If so, why this? As far as I know the quit apple
event does not mean "quit immediately", but is meant to allow programs to
ask about saving documents before quitting etc. At least that's my
experience with other programs.
