Hi Mike, Steve.

No, I haven't been able to find a way to simplify it. I'll post a larger
image later. The weird thing is:

The entire scene is contained in a 2 by 2 by 2 area. If I add the new
object far away (at more than 20 units), it _still_ causes the
transparency problem, so I guess I'm hitting some limit in PovRay. I went
through all the global_settings, tried extreme values, compared the
povray outputs with and without the object, no luck.

I've now tried to install the beta 3.7 version, but the binary won't run
because of a known timing problem, and I can't compile the source,
because the shared version of the boost libraries wasn't installed when I
installed _those_...

John
