Ok, I got it.  The problem is in the source file cones.cpp.  It declares 
a constant called Cone_Tolerance to be 1.0e-6.  When I change this to
1.0e-9, I can move the camera down to 0.1 without problems.  I see the 
same artifacts at 0.01. I may be able to reduce it further.

I can provide an unofficial Windows executable to anyone who wants to 
try it.
