Thorsten, PLEASE!

I actually bet my evening dinner on you writing just that. 

Please reduce a tiny bit your expression of the "POV-code-is-the-best-
code-in-the-world-and-all-other-programs-are-full-of-bugs-or-trivial"
theoreme. 

From those bugs I have found myself in POV code, the code is not as 
high-quality as you consider it to be. I am really sorry to say that 
but sometimes it is healthy to face truth. 

[BTW, I do not remember my mozilla ever crashing. But I remember 
POVRay 3.5c (official) crashing. But I am using mozilla only when 
konqi does not get along with a page...]

But stop. I do NOT want to start a discussion here about mozilla, the 
linux kernel, XFree86, the different development models around etc. 

Especially, I would ask you not to answer here, that if we would put 
POVRay code in a public CVS and let all the world contribute, then the 
code will be fubar within very short time. 

This is correct. 

And this has already been discussed long enough.

Wolfgang
