	You demonstrate nothing since you generate an animation by
outputting PNG files. If the memory leak is in the PNG library which
is used by povray, then it's still not an memory leak within povray.
You should try again by saving TGA or PPM frames, not PNG. Then please
report your corrected results so that someone can start analyzing
what's going on. I will try your scripts myself (on Linux, but that
does not matter if there is a memory leak in povray) in the light of
the rendering your animation as TGA frames.

	BTW, nobody said not to use an external image processing program.
