Hi

I just downloaded the 3.1d version and recognized, that Bump Maps aren't
working anymore the way
they should. All objects with Bump-Maps applied are very Dark, nearly
black, even if there pigment is white.
Are there just any syntax changes that cause this error, or is there an
error in the renderer ?

Here is some code that shows the effect, the rendered image just shows a
Dark gray sphere.

camera {
  location <0,0,-10>
  look_at <0,0,0>
  }

light_source { <0,0,-10> rgb <1,1,1> }

sphere { <0,0,0>,3
  pigment {  rgb <1,1,1> }
  normal { bump_map { gif "plasma2.gif" }  } // this gif should be in
everyones include directory, but you can try any
  }
