Using the +C +F options (resuming and file output) when the file doesn't
exist yet causes the parsing to abort with an error message saying "Continue
Trace Error: Error opening BMP image". +C alone (without file output)
doesn't cause the problem.
This is new behaviour: in previous versions, POV-Ray gave the message
"Warning: Cannot open continue trace output file. Opening new output file"
and went on rendering, which is more practical IMHO.
