I was trying out the two heightfield examples in textures/patterns
(slopemt.pov and mountain.pov) and decided to run the height field files at
a large size.  In doing so, I accidently entered the following:

    +w4000 +h30000

When the render window came up, I got a message box saying "Initialize
display - Fatal Error" and the usual "StretchDIBits() failed ! (Windows
error) in the render window.  I expected that (that is a *really* big image,
after all) but what I didn't expect was the following error in the message
tab:

    Possible File Init Error: libpng: No IDTAs written into file
    File Init Error: Cannot write PNG file.

I can understand Windows balking at such a large image, but libpng
shouldn't.  IIRC, 30000 is well within the acceptable dimensions for PNG
files.

But why?  Nobody uses Linux anyway, right? :)

Speaking of the Linux beta, for whatever the information is worth I'd
like to point out that the under-development Linux version of 3.5 was
more than happy to render at least the first 300 lines of a 4000x30000 
PNG of a randomly-chosen test image.

(translated: I have a Linux version and you don't!  nyah!)

Just kidding, of course.  We're working hard on getting a beta of the Linux
version out, but it probably won't happen for a while yet.

As soon as you can, I can give it a good workout. It's just been ages since I've
gone to Windows at home.

That means, then, it is a bug in the Windows version and not the core.  When
I tried it under Windows, it didn't even try.  Of course, I'm not planning
on rendering an image that large, but I do render 16000 x 12000 images, and
that fails too.  If I turn of the display, it works fine, though.  I'll just
have to remember to do that for the time being.  What would be nice is that
if the render window fails, WINPOV automagically shuts off the render
display.

  Does this mean "linux binaries" or "generic unix source"?

For the beta, I guess it will be binaries. If only to
successfully implement the beta expiration date.

Linux binaries, for the same reason Windows source isn't available yet.
