This file shows a bug in the spotted pattern. The bug manifests in 
a visible square grid in the spotted pattern. It is also visible 
in the bozo pattern.

The bumps normal does not show such a problem.

The bug does not show up when the patterns bozo, spotted and bumps 
are used as pigments

Actually, the bozo/spotted pattern _does_ show this bug when used as a
pigment (it is just very subtle).  Below is a scene (modified from the one
provided by Peter), that puts the bozo bumps on a plane.  It will also
create contour lines in the pigment.  If you look closely, you can see how
the contour lines in the pigment match the grid-like pattern.

Therefore, this is most likely a bug in the bozo pattern itself, and is
probably related to what Xander posted a week or so ago.
