I was using 3.1g. I used Moray to build a scene that included a whoel lot of
CSG objects, nested fairly deeply. One of those objects was a superellipsoid
that was being used to cut a "window" out of a sphere shell. When I replaced
the superellipsoid with a regular box everything worked. So, it seems that
in my case, at least, a superellipsoid might be a little flaky in rare
circumstances. Good assumption?
