I've definitely had it go to sleep on me, with a render in progress. Had to turn
the sleep mode off completely, to prevent this (which is probably not good for
the ol' hard drive.) I always thought it was just an odd Windows bug. (But if I
recall correctly, POV-Ray was the only application this happened with...although
it's also the only app I use that churns through work for hours on end.) So
adding a fix to POV-Ray is a great idea!
