A good compiler would issue a warning there (because the condition is
always false) and the bug would have been located immediately.
  However, as the POV-Ray source code issues about 10000 warnings I suppose
that no-one has full warnings turned on in their compilers (or if they have,
this specific warning gets buried under all the other 9999 ones).

  Warnings are always important and they shouldn't be taken lightly. This
ideology has not been followed in POV-Ray.
  Fortunately now that POV-Ray will be written in C++ it will be possible to
completely get rid of all warnings (C++ allows getting rid of certain
warnings the C version has and you can't do anything about it: Unused function
parameters: Just don't give the parameter a name).
