Attached is a patched source code tarball. After compiling,  if one runs 
the version.pov file shipped with yuqk it will show v0.6.10.1 rather 
than v0.6.10.0.

I was away from POV-Ray / yuqk coding and play for more than two months 
after the early July yuqk release. I forgotten I'd slapped at some code 
faster than using a dynamic_pointer_cast for possible normal blend maps 
on every Perturb_Normal() call. The code wasn't supposed to be released 
yet, but I let it slip by...

In my development space now trying another method. This time using a 
'hard assert' in BOTH the performance compile and debug compile. The 
debug compile of v0.6.10.0 had an assert which immediately pointed to 
the problem for scenes showing issues, but the assert was only in the 
debug compile. FWIW.
