I have posted two images to p.b.i showing an identical scene containing
one isosurface rendered using Megapov 0.4  One was on a RedHat 6.1 box,
the other on a Windows machine.  As you can see, there is a quite marked
difference.  I suspect the Windows version, the one without the white
regions, is the correct one, but am at a loss as to why.  Both binaries
were pre-compiled, one by Nathan Kopp, the other by Mark Gordon.  The
source to the scene is posted below.  Can anyone else duplicate or
explain this?
