Could you please provide a small scene?  You find details how to report bugs
in the welcome message of this group or read the web news copy of it at
<http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/*/116102/>.

In general you should not only include assumptions why a problem appears
because this information alone is most likely useless for the POV-Team.
What we need to have is an easy (read: we don't have to create a scene) way
to reproduce the problem in order to fix it.

Thanks for understanding,

    Thorsten
