Continue bug with image appearance (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

I have included two images and the source code. The first image is the
actual output, the second I used green circles to highlight the areas I am
referring to. This image was created by simply allowing the render to get
about 10 percent complete then stopping and then (using the +c switch)
continuing the render. I stopped and continued the render several times.
As you can see the coloration of the image changed each time I did a
continue even though no code was changed. The background, metal box and the
wood box were all changed. This also happens within Megapov 0.7. ( I
haven't tested with any other versions.)
1. Please post binaries and big sources into
povray.beta-test.binaries (go subscribe to it)
2. I think the problem you describe is more an issue
with radiosity than an actual new bug. Perhaps you
should have talked about it in povray.general before
coming here?
Anyway, more experienced people will probably have better
explanations than me.

I re-posted to binaries. I'm reporting a bug found in the beta version of
povray not the current release.
That's why I didn't place it in general. If its an old issue I would hope
it would be resolved for any new release.

It's present since 3.0.

Not necessarily. This is not a bug in the code of the program,
but a problem in the design. As Ken told you in p.b-t.b, there
are provision to save "radiosity data" between renders, so the
problem vanishes.
Conclusion: not yet well documented, but fixed.
