On the off-chance anyone's still reading this thread, I answered my own
question today. It is possible to run post processing on an aborted render,
but you need to do some nasty trickery, here's what I did:
1/ Before aborting, I copied the *.ppd files that post processing creates.
2/ In a different folder I created a new scene file with the same name that
contained just the post processing section of my scene.
3/ Rendered that scene and paused it just before megapov started the
post-processing phase.
4/ Replaced the ppd files it had just made with the ones from the original
aborted render.
5/ Unpaused, and it ran post processing on my original image!
Now, step 3 can't be timed perfectly so I ended up getting a bit of my empty
scene at the bottom, but that's fine for my aborted render since I only had
the top half of that one.
Way more work than it should be, I think the moral is: render to a 48-bit
intermediate images and run post processing seperately...
