Have you ever tried to render galaxy.pov with interpolate dset to 2?
I did, it renders well with interpolate 0 and 1.
With interpolate 2, the result is orrible. There are HUGE artefacts all over the 
place.

And yes, somebody did try patching the areas that are zero to one or 2, and it 
realy reduced the amount and gravity of the artefacts.
