One of the process may not be POV-Ray related.

The error message "Operation timed out" comes from inside POV-Ray.

Where - in the command line? This results in an error: "Failed to parse 
command line option"

OK. Expect this means you are running v3.7?

This option was added to v3.8 by Christoph to re-enable continuation 
capability available in earlier the v3.7 versions of POV-Ray.

Yes, I do... this probably means I have to do POVEarth animation loops 
manually! Ars longa, vita brevis...

See you in Khyberspace!

And the only spot in source for it is when a stream was not provided
answer for long enough time (unclear if it is 100 or 10 seconds).

Which remind me of a windows specific bug for povray: rendering a large
but empty (or easy) scene would overflow the collecting thread with
amount of blocks to process (while the system actually starts swapping
everyone, or at least that process), leading to a problem that the
collecting thread get no cpu to process the queue, and then detecting
that too much time has past since the query.

(well behaved operating systems try to slow the producer thread(s) when
a stream get filled too fast, in order to give a chance to the consumer,
but not MS, IIRC)

A workaround might have been to reduce the number of rendering threads
(+WT1 ?) in such situation.

Did you find a solution to this problem? I get this error all the time when
rendering animation frames. It's maddening. It seems to happen when a new frame
is about to begin and the status area displays the message "Running pre-frame
shellout" for a long time.

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston

I programmed a workaround via bash shell scripting!

Awesome! I will see if there's a similar solution for Windows.

Kind regards,
