What makes you think the problem you are experiencing is in any way 
related to FS#182?

Note that FS#182 speaks about a wrong texture being applied, not about 
the whole thing vanishing.


My first guess is rather that it might have to do with changes in some 
numeric limits from 3.6 to 3.7; how large is the "blobject" in POV units?
