By having a ray that is inside 100 or more objects at a time.  This would
be easy to achieve with lots of triangles, bicubic_patches, or other
patch objects that the ray never leaves.  To change the limit, you can 
change MAX_CONTAINING_OBJECTS in frame.h to a larger number and recompile,
but be aware that each containing object takes up a bit of memory.  A
better fix would be to not add independent (i.e. non-union) patch objects
to the container list, but that might get ugly.
