  Does this mean that I don't need to worry about it ? I spent the whole day
yesterday to figure out how to compile povray 3.1 with gcc or cc and with  which
options and
looked through the code to find something that would indicate a problem.
However without success.
Since there seem to be no patches does it mean I have to wait for the unix version
of 3.5 ?

Another question, I noticed that lots of people have an enormous amount of povray/c
grable in their
signature. Is the a security thing or a sign of a full hard drive ?

Thanks to all who have helped.

Lothar
