My tests where with some sample scenes that comes with the installer.
I tried with different resolutions.
Every scenes from the \animations\ folder cause my POV-Ray 3.6.1a to freeze BEFORE the
parsing even 
starts. It freezes during the preleminary display of the scene options. (it must be
something funky 
with my system)
With 3.7 beta 12a, when I try to run bounce.pov or bounce.ini, frame 1 and 2 are
rendered normaly, 
then it exits on parceing frame 3 with a message telling me that it can't find the
file 
"bounce.txt". this file hold the previous coordinates. Instead of writing the file
normaly, it write 
a file pvxx.tmp to the tmp path. (xx is some arbitrary, sequential hex value)
