	Apparently the scene is not rendered at all, as the usual stats
are totally missing (those reporting ray-shape intersection).  I feel
you are reaching your memory hard limit and the process gets killed
by the OS (yet pov is able to display time statistics).  I'll try to
investigate this with automatically generated large files.

	Do you confirm you get normal statistics display when you
render a smaller input script that leads to an output image too?
