Just removing them is of course the most simple way, but i'm quite sure
there are other options although i don't know about your code and
therefore can't say for sure.

If you always use 'trace' i wonder why the can fall through at all, does
trace not work correctly?

I suppose using more and samller particles would be good, but that would
of course be much slower.

That would not be much of a problem, of course it could be smaller and
easier to program when not implemented in Pov-SDL, but i really think that
would be very useful.

Looking forward to it...
