I was hoping that it could be related to the file name (spaces or odd
charachters). 
Did my best but every time I use a Pict as output it works fine. Tried a
lot of things, compression, no compression,...

Oeps,... thought we lowerd it to 16000K before we uploaded 0.5. No, you
don't really need 65000K, try something like 10Mb but better 16Mb or
more. It all depends on the kind of image you are rendering. Yesterday I
rendered an image and had to give 150 Mb using virtual memory.. 
That is one of the few things I don't like about MacOS... you have to
set the amount of memory.
