This is completely wrong.  Everyone who has some basic knowledge about
programming knows that there are bugs in a program as large as MegaPOV
and esp. in new and partly experimental patches like in MegaPOV there
can be serious bugs.

Yet there has been absolutely no indication that any of the problems you
reported is caused by a fault in MegaPOV.

That's wrong as well - why would you think that?

The fact that no one was able to reproduce any of the problems you
reported does not mean no one tried.
