I'm trying to use a mesh2 with the object pattern and I keep getting the 
error "Illegal texture of patch in clip, bound, or object pattern".  The 
mesh is untextured, has an inside_vector defined, and works fine in CSG. 
  The object pattern also works fine if I use another object (such as a 
sphere) instead of a mesh.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  This is 
POV-Ray 3.6 on Vista in case that matters.

Here's some example source code that should generate the error:


#declare TestMesh = mesh2 {
   vertex_vectors {
     8,
     <-1,-1,-1>,
     <-1,-1,1>,
     <-1,1,-1>,
     <-1,1,1>,
     <1,-1,-1>,
     <1,-1,1>,
     <1,1,-1>,
     <1,1,1>
   }
   face_indices {
     12,
     <0,1,2>, <1,2,3>,
     <4,5,6>, <5,6,7>,
     <0,1,4>, <1,4,5>,
     <2,3,6>, <3,6,7>,
     <0,2,4>, <2,4,6>,
     <1,3,5>, <3,5,7>
   }
   inside_vector x
}

// This gives an error
sphere {
   <0,0,0>, 1
   texture {
     object {
       object { TestMesh scale 0.5 translate <0,0,-1> }
       texture { pigment { color rgb 1 } }
       texture { pigment { color rgb <0,0,1> } }
     }
   }
}
