pvmegapov 010311, pvm 3.4.3, OS Linux RedHat 6.2.

I don't remember about  old pvmpov, but I think, that it had similar 
problem....

Practial example: this scene

background {color rgb 0.7}

torus {
   10, 1
   pigment {color rgb <0.5, 1.0, 1.0>}
   finish {ambient 0.3 diffuse 0.7}
}

sphere {
   <0, 2*sin(10*pi*clock), 0>, 3.0
   pigment {color rgb <1.0, 0.5, 0.5>}
   finish {ambient .3 diffuse .7}
}

camera {
   location <-30, 40, -30>
   right <1, 0, 0>
   up <0, 1, 0>
   direction <0, 0, 1>
   angle 30
   look_at <0, 0, 0>
}

light_source {< 100, 100, -50> color rgb 1.0}
light_source {<-100, 100, -50> color rgb 0.3}
