s is reserved for isosurface.

Actually, any error line that has a % in it has the potential to cause a
crash in POV (even in the official versions).  This wasn't usually a problem
because % wasn't used very often in POV code.

The problem is because POV treats the error line as a C format string (think
of it as a printf).

This will be fixed in the next versions of MegaPov and POV-Ray.
