Here's whats wrong:

On my computer (1.4 GHZ Athlon, POV-Ray Beta 10, Win98, 512 RAM)
the following files create an image with unexpected lighting.

The scene actually generates a mesh (with only two triangles) and several
CSG chess-figurines, which are placed (using Macros) onto their initial
starting positions.
The one and only lightsource in scene is placed just above the middle of the
board.

The bug is as follows:
The figurines aren't lighted properly. Though some are, most were not lit from
the correct direction and throwing wrong shadows. Some even looked like
they were lit from underneath, and though my first guess was that they were lit and
then placed, none of the figurines is created upside down and then rotated...

Well, I'll put an image of that on my homepage for those interested in what
it looked like on my system...

Hope that clears it up!
