	As explicitly said above, you are trying to use settings in your
~/.povray/3.6/povray.conf file that are less restrictive than those set in
the system-wide /etc/povray/3.6/povray.conf file that is created when
installing POV-Ray as root.  However, you cannot override security settings
that the root defines for the non-privileged users...

	... hence POV-Ray decides to use the "safe" settings.

	This, however, should not happen.  Most likely you are using a POV-Ray
binary compiled for a platform with specific optimizations that are not
available on your own platform.  I guess this is a problem with the Debian
release (I'll check out and file a bug report if necessary).
	Solution: download and install the official POV-Ray for Linux distribution
(alternatively, you may also install the official source distribution).
