Yes, as I mentioned I tried both +MB0 and +MB1 with the single sphere but I
prefered in this instance to make something that works well with default
settings.  I see the "Bounding_Threshold = 3" in POVRAY.INI but strangely
10 sphere's stopped the problem while 11 did not, making me conclude that
the real threshold being used (without my adding anything)was 10, but I'm
not sure why....  Strange.
