Ok.  Here's the deal:  This is not a UVPov vs. Official POV bug, but rather
a MS Visual C++ vs. Watcom bug.  I just compiled the official POV 3.1g
source with Visual C++ and it produces the same problem.


Now, you CAN easily get it to work with UVPov.  The problem is that the file
is a Unix file (just CR at end of line, not CR+LF).  Somehow, the MSVC++
compile of POV messes up character counts with newlines.  You can easily
convert the Unix file to a DOS/Windows file by saving it from POV-Ray.  The
Codemax editor will convert it automatically.

Anyone know how to correct this?
