The following scene gives me what looks like a coincident-surface problem when
using quadratic_spline. It's okay with other spline types. Problem apparent in
3.1, 3.5 and megapov. Tested under 95 and 2000.

Am I doing something stupid?

global_settings {
  assumed_gamma 1.0
  max_trace_level 15
}

camera {
  location  <0.0, 2, -5.0>
  look_at   <0.0, 2,  0.0>
}

light_source {
  <-30, 30, -30>
  color rgb <1, 1, 1>
}

Just in checking, I tried the orthographic option on that scene.
It looks very much worse that way, like someone put it in a band saw.

The keyword "sturm" clears your problem.

Nope, I'm still underpaid and not getting enough sleep ;)
