As there have been several "bug reports" regarding this misunderstanding 
already, here is a short and simple rule to avoid them:

Keep in mind that POV-Ray 3.5 is *NOT* MegaPOV.  The POV-Team always said
(and still says) that features have been changed.  If a scene renders one
way in MegaPOV and another way in POV-Ray 3.5 this does *not* necessarily
mean it is a bug in POV-Ray 3.5!

If you find a problem when porting a scene for the unofficial MegaPOV to the
official POV-Ray 3.5 and something does not work, please, please, please
first try to check the official POV-Ray 3.5 documentation for any clues.  It
is OK to post a "false" bug report as long as you have made an honest
attempt to understand the docs (they are not always clear, I know).

For detailed changes, in particular regarding functions and isosurfaces,
please read these helpful tips before posting a bug report:
