No problem. The flaky issues / bugs are always the hard ones to run down.

Did you continue the animation successfully starting from frame 3048?
Or, is it an animation where each frame depends on information from 
previous frames(s) such that starting at frame 3048 not possible?

I might try running valgrind looking for memory leaks with your 
particular animation as a shot in the dark. But, that's not something 
I'll get to for a while.

Wondering too if the regular animation mechanisms can develop the memory 
bubbles seen with RTR. My guess is the frame rates with regular 
animation always too slow for it to happen - and as a light user of 
regular animation I've never noticed a (povms) memory bubble effect but, 
never gone looking for it, so who knows.
