  It think there's something odd in the evaluating. I tried with that torus
and got some strange results.
  If I do not specify any max_gradient, in MegaPov 'eval' gives 2.514 as the
max_gradient, but in POV3.5 'evaluate 1,10,.99' gives 533! However, rendering
with the former gives a correct result even in POV3.5, so the 533 is obviously
wrong.
  If I, however, specify some max_gradient (eg 2.41) then evaluate in POV3.5 
gives 2.308, which makes more sense. MegaPov gives also a different
value, in this case 2.312, but still reasonable (although I don't understand
why it gives a different value).

  I can post the scene if you want to test.
