In your posted version the blob queue was fixed, but the mesh queue was not.
BTW, is it a good idea to leave initialize the queue before parsing and
leave it that way after the trace() function is called?  Might it be a good
idea to reset it between parsing and rendering and even between successive
calls to trace()?

Instead of calling Initialize_xxx_Code before parse, it would probably be
better to call Initialize_xxx_Code before calling Intersection within
Parse_Trace and then calling Deinitialize_xxx_Code after that call to
Intersection and finally calling Initialize_xxx_Code between parsing and
rendering.
