I only said that because the problem seems to really show up around the 
specular light rather than in the texturing.  Presumably POV needs to 
somehow calculate the normals internally?

Same problem, just smaller scale (see attached the "smooth" version).  IME 
with mesh modellers the appearance indicates incorrectly calculated normals 
(this type of pattern certainly shouldn't be visible with triangles the size 
of a few pixels).  Anyway, the image seems to get *worse* with more 
elements, shouldn't it be getting better?
