Oh, I don't know about that, Thorsten.
Someone could have said something along the lines of "PovRay will give
an integer divide by zero exception when XXX" 
Seriously though I did not provide a scene for two reasons;
One I want to enter the animation in the current IRTC and I am loath
to preview it as any impact it may have, will be lost. Not that I'm
secretive or think someone would copy it but it is not ready to be
shown yet.
Two the size. The Pov file is greater than 12,500 lines and 660k in
size, it has 2 Poser meshes 2 Meg each. 
I don't want to waste bandwidth on something that might or might not
show up. That is the problem with intermittent faults. IIRC it only
started to give an error when I used AA settings of 
Antialias_Threshold = 0.1
Antialias_Depth = 3
Sampling_Method = 2
But that may be a red herring. 
What will cause an integer divide by zero exception when rendering?

BTW I am using PovRay 3.5, AMD 1735 Mhz, Win XP, 512 Meg of RAM.
Rereading my original post I think I can see why you and others may
have thought that the problem was solved. My head was as thick as
mince in the neck of a bottle due to a bad cold:-}
