Uh... yeah... forgot to mention. The *reason* is that without max(), you 
have to set max_gradient exp(17) to get a picture. :-| But with max() in 
there, you can set it very much lower and it renders correctly.


Change #declare Iterations = 2; to something else to make the surface 
more complicated. (And slower to render!) You may need to increase the 
max_gradient a notch also; let it render and see if it's OK.
