Nor I but I thought that I would offer.

I added a 440 Meg file which loaded after a while with the memory 
peaking at 2.0 GB and falling to 1.2 GB after it loaded.


I restarted Pov, added a 200 Meg file seven times and on the eighth 
attempt I got the message:

Failed to open the file: Invalid message box style.

Process Explorer records PovRay having 2.7 GB of private memory.

I closed all files - 22 MB memory.
Added again and got the message again. 185. MB memory.

I was able to run a render.

I tried to add the 200 Meg file and I got the message:

Failed to open file:
Not enough storage is available to process this command.

My wife gave me another message.
I got the message. ;-)
