I noticed yesterday that if you render scenes\advanced\abyss.pov
there's a very notable difference in the background brightness. This
can't be explained by gamma since the other objects in the scene
are basically ok. The scene (when rendered with 3.6) has a rather
bright cyan background, but when rendered with 3.7 the background
is almost (or totally) black.
Could this perhaps be related to media?
I tried investigating it more today but for some odd reason I can't
render it anymore with 3.7beta2: It keeps crashing every time I try.
(Other scenes render ok.)
Anyone having this same problem?

It seems that this line is causing the trouble
#declare Inter=trace( SubTop, Start, Dir, Norm1);
Also, media appears black, like you said

This is actually the same problem (related to hollow) as reported in
'hollow1.pov oddities'. We are still working on fixing that.

This is caused by the trace statement; it's causing access to some data used
by blobs that currently isn't set up until the parse finishes.
The latter problem is fixed, the former one will be shortly I hope.
