Darius,
Your changes make sence to me. Good job in finding the bug! Have you sent
anything to the POV-Ray team yet?

P.S. It was Mr. Mika who posted the pictures, not me. ;-)

Hey, this was bugging me for over a year and all it took you was a week to
fix? Thank you, sir! I had given two projects due to this and now I'll go
and dig them out of the drawer. Great job!

I like this one :)
I'm working on an unusual interesting bug. It is green with yellow polka
dots, has 5 legs (Bug War II veteran) and it's body is a asinh julia
fractal.
Just kidding.

P.S. BTW, do you when and under what circumstances the slang "bug" was first
used? It's an old computer freaks' joke.

Some people think Adm. Grace Hopper coined the phrase when she found a moth in
a relay in the Mark I computer. But that "common knowledge" ignores the
following, quoted from the alt.folklore.urban FAQ:
the OED sez
bug:
b A defect or fault in a machine, plan, or the like. orig. U.S.
1889 Pall Mall Gaz. 11 Mar. 1/1 Mr. Edison, I was informed, had been up
the two previous nights discovering `a bug' in his phonograph-an expression
for solving a difficulty, and implying that some imaginary insect has
secreted itself inside and is causing all the trouble.

Sorry! Too many hours looking at the screen looking for the bug :)
Thanks very much for the sample, anyway. It sure helps finding these
sorts of problems...

Yep, they *should* have got a carbon copy of the message I posted. My
e-mail server has just conveniently died at the moment I sent it, so I
haven't got any reply from them yet...
