Every now and then, if there is any problem which produce a "parse error",
exactly same error message is printed 2 times. This effect is totally
independent on actual reason of error.

2 examples:
----
File 'a.pov' line 2: Parse Error: Expected 'numeric expression', } found instead
File 'a.pov' line 2: Parse Error: Expected 'numeric expression', } found instead
Fatal error in parser: Cannot parse input.
Render failed

a.pov:
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.5}
box {<-0.5, -0.5, -0.5>, }
light_source {<4, 5, -5>, rgb <1, 1, 1>}
camera {location <5, 5, -5> look_at <0, 0, 0>}
----
File 'b.pov' line 2: Parse Error: Expected 'object', undeclared identifier 'foo'
 found instead
File 'b.pov' line 2: Parse Error: Expected 'object', undeclared identifier 'foo'
 found instead
Fatal error in parser: Cannot parse input.

b.pov:
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.5}
object { foo }
light_source {<4, 5, -5>, rgb <1, 1, 1>}
camera {location <5, 5, -5> look_at <0, 0, 0>}
