I have taken Eric Freeman's demo scene for MegaPOV and eliminated all of the
scene contents except the mirrors.  I have seen two anomalies.

First, the initial path from the source to the first mirror shows as
expected for the spotlight.  This portion of the light path is missing from
the cylinder light version.

Second, both the spotlight and cylinder light versions show what seems to be
the presence of a beam along the optical axis of the light source.

I have uploaded files to the beta-test.binaries area.  The files include the
source and .PNG files for the original version, the spotlight version, and
the cylinder light version.  The original source has had the line "#version
unofficial MegaPov 0.4;" removed and the "$"s replace with "#declare "s.
