Strange enough, when I use
 #declare Val = 1/0;
and write it to disc, I get this in the file:

1e+017

A high number. I seem to remember that POV-Ray stops at division by 0, why
not when I declare it? Must be some parsing-thing or such, probably. Well,
not the slightest closer to getting to the test-subject! :-)
