I just rendered 600 pictures for
an animation.

Flying over a village with big
photovoltaic roofs.

The source for the scnee is at

http://wohnen.pege.org/2011-solares-bauland/pov.zip

With the setings in this file,
picture 316, 364, 450
has complete different color on the roof.

The roof is with a material map

#declare house_t_PV_Unit = texture
{ material_map
   { gif "map-pv.gif"
     texture { house_t_Aluminium }
     texture { house_t_PV_Silizium }
     texture { house_t_PV_Silizium }
     texture { house_t_PV_Silizium }
   }  // material_map
}  // texture

can this be an error in POV?

what version are you using? I tried a test
render of all frames in 320x240 No AA with
3.7 RC3 on 64-bit and did not see the effect.

My best guess would be a precision issue somewhere
as your scene uses large distances for the sun/sky.
This doesn't work well together with small
scale modelling.

Oh, I just thought about moving the sun
149000000000 away

and to rotate and translate the scene,
that I can simulate sun positions
for every day of the year.

Place your sun much closer and use the parallel option.

The failure was in map-pv.gif

In all the pictures had been only
used

color index 0
color index 254

I reduced color depth to 16.
Now had the 2 used colors index 0, 1
and the effect dissappeared
