What does the fine manual say about normal_map? (6.7.2.2)
I'm talking of POV-Ray's manual ...


BTW I think Warp is correct, if you want that someone opens a debugger
and starts a debug session in search of a possible uninitialized variable, 
or an overflow/underflow, a typo... whatever it is. 
I think it is very kind of you to remove *ALL* parts surely not 
responsible of the wrong behaviour and then read the manual to be sure 
that what's left is correct.
