I tried this and the error is already shown here. You can try it
yourself. Just look near eye brow after triangulation and the problem is
there. It seems that blender triangulates the quad incorrectly. It
should split it the other way.

I actually calculate the normals in ssRay. But should be just fine. By
inverting the normals, you' see a totally black monkey.
