	Thank you both. Lowering error_bound does the trick,
eventually (1 is still too much), but the render time
skyrockets. Removing auto-bounding fixes it too and allows
for faster render (actually, by manually bounding my
objects, I'm able to get render times similar to those I get
with auto-bounding) so I guess there must be a bug somewhere
:(

	Anyway, thanks again to both,
		Jerome
