  Not always the same render results??

Strange...
I always thought that POV-ray's rendered images were always
exactly the same for the same code, like with 'normal'(?)
instructions.

Example: if you calculate tan 1 with a calculator, you
always
get the same result: 1.55740772465490223050697480745836(...)

However, it appears this doesn't work this way for POV-ray
image output (?).
I've rendered the same POV code more than once on the same
computer without using any jittering or crand or any other
random
function that I know of. The results were slightly
different, as
you can see in the attached image (that's why I posted it in
this group)
(close-ups of the rendered images).
Can anybody tell me why the output is different?

Just wondering...

Julius
