July 3 2005 version - The gui is starting to annoy me a little.  I'm on a G4
12" powerbook running os 10.4.2.
The problems:

1) When there's an error, I get to watch it spit out the faulty code REALLY
slowly.
2) I can't turn off the text streams, so I also get to watch it give me the
authors, statistics, debug, etc... every time it renders.  It takes longer
to watch that go by than to render the animation.
3) So it tells me there was a domain error in acos on line 124.  There's
plenty of acos's, but no acos on line 124.  The line numbers are
consistently off by a few lines.

That's it for now, although the find/replace command has given me some
strange problems in the past.  Don't have the time to duplicate it now, but
it doesn't always find everything and if I use it enough, the file won't
accept any more text until I save, close, and reopen.  After using XCode's
editor, POV's gets the job done, but not as smoothly.
