Hi all there !

	I just started to try persistent objects in animations
with MegaPOV 0.5a for Linux. AFAI understand, the purpose of
object with defined labels is not to be destroyed from frame
to frame. But does it mean there are not re-parsed after the
first frame ? It seems they are (while using big objects as
meshes for instance). I would expect the opposite.
	Second, I noticed one weird result while rendering the
last frame of the following simple test-case animation. I would
like to know if I'm missing something critical, or if this beha-
viour is related to a possible bug (maybe Linux-specific ?).
	Thanks for any comment, you're welcome to flame me ;-)
