This is a great idea, Chris (and Clipka); thanks for setting it up.

For several months, I've been mulling over suggesting a similar list--but
thought that I might...offend...the POV team by doing so. (By publically airing
POV-Ray's 'dirty laundry' all at once, so to speak.) Glad to see that my
feelings were unfounded. I think this will actually help track down some bugs,
by collecting them into an easily-cross-referenced list; some bugs may turn out
to have a common cause.

One question: Is it OK to list *any* bugs that we come across (in versions 3.6
or later, of course) regardless of whether they have been posted before?
Because some 'bug reports' may have been mentioned only in various newsgroup
threads, as discussions, rather than under the official 'bug reports' thread.
Some of which may have escaped attention (although some may have already been
fixed.) It would be great (and useful, IMO) to gather them all together under
your new listing. Then you (and Clipka, etc.) can eliminate the ones that are
redundant.
