In the official version layered textures that use filter or transmit
react the same i.e. they both default to the behavior of filter. In
MegaPov Nathan changed this so that transmit works "correctly" or so
he claims. It's not really a bug as much as it is a dissagreement as
to what the correct behavior should be where layered textures are
concerned. I do not know at this point if this change will be reflected
in POV-Ray v3. or not. It will definately break a lot of pre v3.5
textures if it is implememnted though the #version directive can be
used to compensate for this.
