Let me say this again.  The render progress window with the candy cane 
thing stays open. The candy cane thing just keeps spiralling, it lists 
no objects, no parse time, no render time, etc.  I have to quit program 
to make it stop.  G4, OS 9.2.2, Carbon Lib 1.6, lots of ram, rendering a 
simple scene from Scenes Folder.  What am I doing wrong?

That's what it was doing for me, until I turned on 'preemptive 
threading' in the first pane of the preferences.

Which you can't see until you go to that pane with the option key 
held down. [And you need to then quit and re-launch POV for it to 
take effect]

Hey! I had the same problem on a mac with OS 9.2.2 lately. I thought it had
something to do with the OS (oh no! broken AGAIN!?!?!), but it turns out to
be POV-Ray. Good.  :-)

Same problem here on my iMac revB running sys 9.2. I downloaded povray 
version 3.5 to take up some rendering projects after a year or so. Is 
there a quick fix for this problem ?

Only the above, AFAIK, i.e:

Edit menu-> Application Preferences -> some tab other than 
'General' -> Hold down the option key and choose the 'General' tab 
-> Turn on 'preemptive threading' -> close the prefs window -> quit 
POV-Ray -> Re-launch POV-Ray.

HELLO.
Sorry guys, but I have the same problem and this fix does not fix it!
Thanks beforehand for your interest and help.

(OS 8.6 / CarbonLib 1.6 / POV-Ray 3.5)
