The bug is caused by the way my code handles semi-sharp
edges (the ones that are sharp for a finite number of
subdivisions), combined with the pre-calculation of
normals.

Until I get the fix uploaded, calling the macro

   SSS_BuildNormals()

after the last subdivision appears to solve the
problem.

Regards,
John
