Thanks for that, Bill.

So, John, the thing is to do a test run on your (naked) isosurface
without any CSG operations then, when you've got max_gradient right,
proceed to your full CSG modified scene.

BTW Christoph Hormann has some good information regarding isosurface CSG
in http://www.imagico.de/pov/ic/index.php
