I've noted (and fixed) this error when interpreting the code, but since I
don't bytecompile (I use the same pov-mode.el for emacs and xemacs) I
never realised that bytecompiling would be affected too. I'll see if I can
get this fixed somehow.

Emacs has this variable set ridicusly low, around 300, Xemacs has it at
1000. My fix is to see if it's <1000 then set it too 1000. I wonder how to
fix it properly for bytecompiling as well...
