I believe Rolf's problems were due to bugs in the combinations antialiasDisplay + translucent antialiasDisplay + POV-Ray antialiasDisplay + image writing and possibly my improperly closing a buffered file writer (but I don't know about that). Rolf, if you could take a look at what I've just checked in for Jmol 11.3.37, that would be great.
