Good scene.

artefacts appear in:
* stable
* master

artefacts *do* *not* appear in:
* hgpovray (which is based on previous of my own master)
* my own master (which is late behind master)

Does not seems tied to the compiler either.

Of interesting differences between official and mine, I would consider the fix to
fs#324 (2014-06-07):

MIN_ISECT_DEPTH (configbackend.h) was moved from 1.0e-4 to 0.0
*with* a change in trace.cpp and objects.cpp : instead of tmpDepth >= MIN_ISECT_DEPTH,
it is tmpDepth > MIN_ISECT_DEPTH
(not equal, strict inequality)

and in object.cpp, MIN_ISECT_DEPTH is replaced by SMALL_TOLERANCE for intersection
with bounding box.
