Ah, I forgot to include my standard warnings.  The following should go near the
top of the code.


// WARNING: Declare this function first in a scene.

// WARNING: This recursive function is invalid SDL and can crash POV-Ray.

If you have a recursive function in an include file, include it before all
others in case they have a function declaration.  Also, as I recall, you can
only get away with breaking the no recursion rule with one function in a scene.

I hope this helps.
