Something I rustled up a few days ago.

This is the scene that can "break" Pov by rendering completely black (if you 
turn off photons) or getting the photon step to go into an infinite loop (if 
you turn on photons) - if you set the stack of blobs in the middle to have a 
transparency of more than 0.3999999.

This applies to 3.6.1 on Linux (at least) and Megapov-1.2.1 on Linux, pre-
compiled and self-compiled with GCC version 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4) 
(GCC) on Fedora 11.

Anybody got any idea why only one of the three shadows to the left bottom of 
the blob stack is a colored shadow, while the other two are black? Trace 
levels?

Source in PBSF, except of course for the .ttf files for ttf objects in the 
scene.
