While tracing my Star Destroyer model, I get this warning or error message or
whatever it is:
Illegal grid value in dda_traversal().
But it doesn't seem to affect the image or the tracing-process.
What does it mean?

Oh, I forgot to mention that my model contains LOTS of height_fields used in
CSG...

I think POV tells this when it actually hits the heightfield,
but the ray passes right between two triangles. POV-Ray
knows it should have hit something (it should hit the heightfield)
but cannot get a "legal value".
But I'm not too sure. One of the POV-Team will revelate you
sometime these next days, probably...
