Seems quite a ridiculous claim, yet . . .

As I was trying to work out a few isosurfaces last night, I repeatedly noticed a
curious, and troubling phenomenon:

Sometimes when I made changes to my code and re-rendered, POV-Ray did not take
the changes into account, and just re-rendered the scene that I had before I
made the changes.

If I rendered another scene or (intentionally) triggered an error, it seems that
something got reset, and POV-Ray actually noticed (parsed) the new code and
rendered the expected changes.

Has anyone run into anything like this?

I will have to post the (short) scene later and see if I can figure out a
reliable, repeatable way to get it to happen.

I'm running 3.8, and am probably using a S***-Ton of memory

My brain is like an internet browser. I have 17 tabs open, 3 of them are frozen
"and I have no idea where the music is coming from. . ."

Except that I'm sure I have 5 browser windows with more than 17 tabs....
