there is no beta binaries group, although the original question is posted in
the beta group.  The question / problem is actually:

after receiving an "out of memory" "render failed" error it is not possible
to render any other scene, the run button is lit but "out of memory" is
returned, this happens for every / any scene regardless of complexity.  I
seems that when povray fails in this manner it should release all the
memory mapped for the failed parsing, and does not do this.  In the
non-beta release I experience no problems after such a failure.
