// Is this a (very minor) bug?
// Win Megapov 0.3

// Parsing error on illegal character corrupts further
// parses with confusing fatal error.
// Seems to be tied to the function keyword

global_settings { assumed_gamma 1 }
// this produces the error on SECOND RUN:
// a confusing (and amusing) "numeric expression expected
// but float constant found instead" error.
// Other statements such as
// #declare TestValue=1;
// or
// camera{location <1,1...
// produce similar (not identical: similar) errors




// this produces the error on FIRST RUN
// the illegal character can be anywhere between function and }

// :-) they are quite legal here, you sure have strange laws :-)



// System info:
// Megapov v 3.1g.wmp.0.3(WinMegaPov 0.3).mscv.unofficial-win32 [Pentium II
optimized]
// on PII 233MHz, 128M RAM
// OS Win98SE
