I was running out of modeling time, and had the choice of trying to fake 
the trees with a texture on the ground, or using (mostly) pre-modeled 
trees from Povtree. normal{bumps} wasn't cutting it at this resolution, 
so I used Povtree trees.

What are the specs on the machine you're running this on? You've 
inspired me to try a 2048x1536 RSOCP render; I'm finding that I have 
more than enough memory to do it in one shot, but it is taxing my processor.

And the Format source code tells me that *really* the indicator of an 
error is whether the index has changed value or not. If it has *not* 
changed value, then some of the Format class' innards assume that since 
parsing didn't happen, an error must have occurred. (Pause for 
Buddhist-like contemplation of this leap of logic and faith.)
