This reminds me....  A while back somebody said they had changed the
radiosity code to do a better job of saving/loading the radiosity cache
file.  Now, these changes never made it into POV 3.1g, so I don't have them.
If this bug is in UVPov, it is probably also in 3.1g.  Does anybody have
that radiosity code?  If not, I may be able to make those changes myself,
but for now I'm sure if you delete that cache file after canceling a trace,
the problem will go away.
