Are you by any chance running out of disk space? What might be happening is
that the swap file is growing to the point that it takes up most of the disk
space, and the image file takes up the rest. Then, when the render stops,
the swap file shrinks down to normal.
Could you please post the exact error message that POV-Ray gives you?
