See? Told you so, Scotch ain't curing the root cause :P

It seems like POV-Ray doesn't like it if you try to access a nested
array that hasn't been initialized. For example:

    #declare Foo = array[5];
    // "Foo" is now of type "array of yet-undefined type"
    #declare Foo[0] = array[4];
    // "Foo" is now of type "array of array"
    #declare Foo[1][0] = 1;
    // "Foo[1]" is still empty, but POV-Ray fails to notice that,
    // and tries to access the array it expects to be stored in there.

This bug is present in v3.7.0, and since it wasn't known until now, I'm
not surprised it's still in there.
