POV 3.5 RC4 icl on WinNT Sp 6 PII 233 with 128 MB

Another thing not important very much but a little strange.
After rendering of some isosurface I have achived message:

  Warning: Evaluate found a maximum gradient of 1.100 and an average
  gradient of 1.100. The maximum gradient variation was 0.000.
  It is recommended to adjust the parameters of 'evaluate' to:
  First parameter less than 1.100
  Second parameter less than 1.000 and greater than 1.0
  Third parameter greater than 1.000 and less than 1.0

What values should I use to be compliant with suggestion in 5th and 6th line ?
Perhaps instead of "less" could be "not greater" and instead of "greater"
could be "not less".

The message is generic and does *not* mean you have to change the values. It
is only a *recommendation*.  Essentially this happens mostly if you use
evaluate with a very simple function for which evaluate isn't really needed...

Yes, yes, I know, as I said it is not very important report. Variation of
maximum gradient is 0 so in such case further use of evaluate has no sense
afaik.

I used this for very complex function. It was IC_Text("ISO-CSG Library",1,0))
from iso_csg library.
