Using a larger area light does lessen the problem, but it's still there.
BTW, I tried POV 3.6 beta also.  Maybe POV-Ray 4.0 (or 4.5 or 5.0) will fix
it.

Oh well...  I was trying to do a somewhat tasteful nude scene, which I'd
probably be rather reluctant to display publicly anyway.  ;-)  But in all
seriousness, finding good Poser clothes is difficult, making your own is
even harder, and getting the clothes to look good in a POV-Ray picture is
harder still.  But I've ranted about that before...
