I can provide three patches if thought useful.  the following clipped from the
build script:

# note p.bugreports: WFP 13.8.2020 "alpha.10064268 undef behaviour".
patch --verbose -p0 < ${CWD}/patch20200813
# note p.general: WFP 19.9.2020 "povray vs uberpov am3".
patch --verbose -p0 < ${CWD}/patch20200919
# note p.beta-test: WFP 21.4.2021 cf ingo, dict copy.
patch --verbose -p0 < ${CWD}/patch20210421

(I think there's at least one more "already fixed" for which I didn't make one)
