	From the docs:
By default POV-Ray searches only for the first surface which the ray
intersects. But when using an isosurface in CSG operations, the
other surfaces must also be found. Therefore, the keyword max_trace
must be added to the isosurface statement. It must be followed by an
integer value. To check for all surfaces, use the keyword
all_intersections instead.
With all_intersections POV-Ray keeps looking until all surfaces are
found. With a max_trace it only checks until that number is reached.
