Wow almost the exact same thing that happened over here today, but it
wasn't megapov that was the problem, I got that error by trying to 
render skyvase.pov on Linux with Megapov 7 while using the +b1000 command
line option, when I took that option out it worked fine, maybe it's the
same problem over there.
