I really wish POV-Ray would accept, if not require, semicolons at the 
end of declarations. It should be a simple modification to make, at 
least for someone who understands the declaration code(I don't).

It sounds like POV is using(internally, not in your scene) a variable 
that doesn't get initialized...this would qualify as a bug even if that 
isn't the cause.
