Understood; thanks.

I have two possible bugs I would like to report for independent
confirmation, in descending order of seriousness:

(1) The "Fast Functions" G5 rendering engine problem that I described in
detail elsewhere in this thread. To summarize, if you select the "Fast
Functions" performance option when the G5-specific rendering engine is
selected, any attempt to render the benchmark results in the following
error during scene parsing:

Parse Error: Internal error - code size difference for 15 03c4!
File benchmark.pov line 615

(2) Occasionally when you start POV-Ray, a dialog box pops up stating that
"this beta version of POV-Ray has expired". Oddly enough, nothing prevents
you from continuing to work inside POV-Ray. This usually occurs only once
when you start POV-Ray after booting up OS X, but on at least one or two
occasions I noticed the expiration dialog after restarting POV-Ray a couple
of times.

thanks.
