Hi

I'm using emacs 21.3.1 and does not have this problem. if you enable
"Enter debugger on error" (it should be in the options menu), and then
paste the result here. But first, you should download the latest version
of povmode (I made a mistake while packaging it, and forgot the files
that belong to the insertmenu).
