This is a copy of the original sPatch texture. Due to the fact that
sPatch uses OpenGL for internal texturing this can happen, However it
does *not* effect the povray output when textured properly. I use sPatch
a lot and never had any problems with texturing.

OpenGl is used to get a fast lighted picture of your model. There a
certain restrictions to it and sometimes they appear in visible manner.

I hope this one helps,
