Having checked it more since then I found that setting a number_of_waves
value, rendering, then rerendering a second time without making a change,
there'd be an expected water surface. Not the same as in version 3.5, but at
least the pattern looking more like it should instead of lacking any texture
(or reflection) or just having a rather featureless flat surface.

Plus there are occasional errors, i.e. "The POV-Ray rendering core threw an
unhandled exception", when larger numbers are used but not the same each
time (55, 100, etc.)
