The root cause is a combination of

(1) a problem with either the sor or lathe object, returning "undefined" 
as the surface normal at a certain point (which leads to "undefined" 
values in subsequent computations of a refracted ray), and

(2) a lack of defensive programming in the image handling code (which 
"converts" the undefined values into an access violation).
