For the first time in my life I got this error from povray:

error: numeric expression expected but . (period) found instead.

  Trivia: Can you guess what causes this (ie. can you generate this error
from povray)?

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]

'rotate .' for example (i think every time a pure . is used)

It usually does not occur to me, because i usually use leading zeros.

It happened to me when I wrote a number in the form "..2" by mistake.

  Ok. Try to get this:

error: 2D-Vector expected but something bigger found.

    Haven't tried it but something like

lathe {
              linear_spline
              5,
            <2, 0>, <3, 0>, <3, 5>, something bigger, <2, 0>
         }

I do stuff like that. A little too much. ;)

A quick search through the source code reveals that it requires an
unofficial version of POV-Ray.  Searching through the source code for
SuperPatch 3.1g indicates that it is probably a feature of MegaPOV.

  Nope. This produces:

error: numeric expression expected but undeclared identifier 'something' found
instead.
