When a text stream is redirected to a text file during an animation sequence,
the text file has messages only from the last frame.  For example, if you
execute

   povray foo.pov +GAfoo.log +KFF100

the file foo.log will contain no messages from frames 1 through 99; only
messages from frame 100.  This happens with all of the redirectable text
streams.  POV-Ray 3.6 recorded all of the frames.

POV-Ray version: 3.7.RC6
OS: openSUSE Linux 12.1

A gentle reminder of two older 3.7 front end problems that came up while I was
trying to redirect the debug stream:

1. When the command line contains an error, the terse message
     Invalid parameter.
     Invalid parameter.
     Render failed
   is displayed.  No hint is given as to which parameter is invalid.  My
   apologies if this is already being addressed.

2. Thanks in advance for fixing the GD switch (task #234, fix #5687).
