That changed it alright, very curious.  So must be the bounding/light
buffer.  Too bad I don't know POV program source code to fix it myself.

I went from 0 up to 6 again and not until 6 did it have a shadow, also was
slower to render of course.  Guess I just happened to have that set to the
magic number for this particular example.  I'm supposing 4 letters plus a
torus counts as five things.
