Render BUG in DAZ 4.7 ? (Be aware: You may find the Attachment objectionably LOL :-)

Hey Guys and experts :-)
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
My knowledge about rendering is rather small but that seems to be a Bug.

2-3 times rendering works well and then the image is partially turquoise, blue, ... Or completely white.
After restarting DAZ (v 4.7) everything is OK again.

I'm using the default render settings (3Delight).

How are you lighting the scene? Check to see if your lights are using Deep Shadow Maps, rather than no shadows or Ray-traced shadows.

I used default lights (1 or 2 Distance and 2 or 3 Spotlight). Some of the Spotlight are a little bit colorized.
Mostly I'm using Deep Shadow Map with Shadow Softness between 10-30%

The Problem is still present by all Scenes. After a few time rendering, this ugly Effect happens and only a Restart will help.
But I've never noticed it on Buildings, Cars, or other Objects. Only on human surfaces (nude or not ;-) ).
Maybe only if I'm using SSS Material (I don't know exactly at the moment, I'll be watching it).

Once I am a beginner, I am working currently with scenes, posing, morphing, a bit Modeling with Hexagon or ZBrush.
Therefore I leave all Shader- and Rendersettings at default at the moment and aren't using UeberSurface or anything similar...

Deep Shadow Maps are highly problematic. It's generally best to avoid them and use Ray Traced shadows.

I agree. I simply HATE shadow maps. They can take a while to build and then you if you don't like it, tweaking and then waiting for it to rebuild that one and then render. YUK!
