Because, being a predefined texture, the parts that make it up are 
actually declared in 12 seperate places and then gradually merged 
together... heh.

By the way, forgot to mention... 9 hours + 50 minutes render time. 
(Can't wait to do the radiosity version!)

If anybody can figure out what the hell that actually is, LET ME KNOW! >_<

I theorise it's something to do with the edge of my isosurface. The 
water around the stone block is an isosurface, but the infinite stretch 
of water in the background is a flat plane. That square is roughly on 
the seam between the two...

Weirdly, I changed the ground texture and the square vanished. Go figure!
