  trace() accuracy problem

High!

Meanwhile, I managed to get surface views from my isosurface desert 
planet ("Ghurghusht")... the four pictures attached here show the same 
landscape from 17,000, 1,000, 200 and 80 metres above ground - with the 
last one, I got the render warning "Camera is inside a non-hollow object".

Ghurghusht has a radius of about 5117 units and is placed 570,000 units 
from the origin... could it be that trace() is that inaccurate? Is there 
any way to get rid of it?

See you in Khyberspace!
