RH6.2 320M RAM PII 266 - POV-Ray 3.5 RC4.

I've tested the scenes that I ran in RC3 and found bugs when run on this
system, these scenes appear to render correctly in the Win95 version.

scenes/interior/media/media1.pov 

Renders asthough through a letterbox rotated z*45.  Seems to only be 
rendering the media container and no light/none of the scene outside it. 

scenes/interior/media/media2.pov

Just get a black image, the output file seems to be the correct size but
just a black image.

scenes/objects/crater_dat.pov

The output PPM file can't be read by crater.pov or other graphics 
packages.  Get the error message:

height_field {


  "crater_dat.ppm" <----ERROR


Parse Error: File is not in PPM format.

This seems to be caused by the hf_gray_16 key word.  But if I remove
that word I get:

height_field {


  "crater_dat.ppm" <----ERROR


Parse Error: Unsupported number of colors (0) in PPM image.

I get this no matter what ppm file I try to render with as the HF even
if I save the ppm file from another graphics program. 

Hope some of this helps.

Yes, I don't dissalow them (something I gave over doing years ago).

I deleted the POV cookies and it works fine now, I don't even get the
introduction page it just goest straight to the post URL.
