You are absolutely correct; I made a mistake, a really dumb one: In my simple
v3.8xx scene file for testing the skysphere and the rgb-vs-SRGB colors, I
mistakenly wrote #version 2.8 instead of 3.8! (I have no idea what "version 2.8"
does to colors-- if there ever WAS such a version.) My render was definitely
screwed up; sorry for the confusion.

Now, my v3.8 SRGB-color version looks just like your v3.7 version.

I also ran my scene in v3.7 to double-check any color/gamma differences
between that and v3.8xx; they look identical, as you say.

The other interesting behavior I noticed (maybe it's expected) is that the older
#version directive of 3.5 in "skies.inc" can be changed to 3.7, with absolutely
no change in the renders (when run in either v3.7.0 or 3.8xx). I did some
'difference' comparisons in Photoshop to check this.
