No, didn't compile, d/l'd the binaries. 

my mem looks like this, in units of KBs.  

[sjlen@zero-pps pov]$ free -k
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         63136      60884       2252      16692       1312      32616

When my current render has finished I'll try rendering something in Megapov
that I know runs out of mem in official POV, and then run it again in 
Pov and see what happens. (as this scene doesn't use any new Megapov features).


Scene below:
