High!

Inspired by my loved one who is a true fractal aficionado (he also wrote 
his own fractal generation tool, using QBasic!), I reactivated an old 
mandelbrot zoom script from 2001 (back then using POV-Ray 3.1). But 
otherwise than stated in the manual, the calculation ends not at a 10^33 
magnification, but merely at about 10^14, the pattern starts to look 
"blocky".

Is it possible to increase this calculation depth without hacking 
POV-Ray's source code? If not, would it be legal according to the POV 
license to do so?

See you in Khyberspace!
