without ANY changes to scene file or includes (other than #version and 
#patch directives at the head of the file) it seems that mesh2 objects 
don't cast shadow when using uberpov

i've used the cylinder primitive as the control

povray --version
POV-Ray 3.7.1-alpha.7898287.unofficial

uberpov --version
UberPOV 1.37.1.0

1st image rendered with povray the 2nd with uberpov

Looks like the issue is a bit more complicated: The mesh2.pov sample 
scene renders fine, shadows and all, on both my Windows and OpenSUSE 
machine. So I guess I'll need to know more details about your scene.

I've just checked in a fix for some other bug that might also be 
relevant for your case. Can you please test the newest UberPOV "develop" 
branch (commit 358a8dd)? Thanks.
