Scratch that, it seems like you've hit an internal limit... somewhat
like max_intersections, but not quite, it's the maximum number of
nested objects a ray can be in (99 or 127, IIRC).

A solution? Well, try to avoid that at parse time, i.e. incorporate
some collision detection algorithm so that the particles do not nest
that much. Or use a blob instead of a union.
