It's not a bug with the superpatch. For some reason 3DWin is not
reading the file correctly and is producing a mesh composed of
100% degenerate triangles. When Pov parses the scene it disallows
every degenerate triangle then issues a warning that there are no
triangles in the mesh. First time I have ever seen a conversion
program write a file with all degenerate triangles before.

Weird comes to mind.
