Not unless the pov installer drops an INI with Include_Header.  As a habit, 
I do not use INI files nor did I even know that the include_header 
directive existed before you mentioned it the other day.  The only pov-
related INI files on my systems are those included in the pov distribution 
and those created by the rerun subsystem.

Look for yourself:

c:\>grep ?

c:\temp\beta8fix.inc is the path to the workaround file.  Note that this 
include_header reference in povray.ini didn't get transfered into 
current.ini even though the last render I executed was the isosurface bug 
test you posted earlier.
