Actually I think that the imposed maximum value for distances is much
smaller than would be possible with 64-bit floating point numbers (which
POV-Ray uses) at a good precision, but I suppose that the principle
has been "better safe than sorry", which might be a good idea.
  I think that this maximum distance is easily modifiable in one of
the source code files (and then you could recompile a custom version
with a much higher limit).
