Resulting from Nurwodah's question at povray.newusers, this from their 
posted SDL:

A dark cyan line within an object (glass block) parallels the red cylinder 
light source, which can also be seen dividing a refracted portion 
horizontally at the upper left and appears to lack the cyan color.

Please be aware I'm using the updated POV-Ray 3.6 (3.6.2) Chris Cason has 
been working on, simply because I haven't gone back to Windows Vista to try 
3.6.1c yet.

Ah yes, however, your namesake is. Or is that *your* namesake is not. Can't 
decide how to say this about a namesake.

Anyway... having tried this using version 3.6.1c now I see the same thing 
happen so it isn't something new to 3.6.2. Wouldn't have expected it to be, 
just had to be sure.

Something good came from this. The render time in Vista and 3.6.1c was 65 
seconds, Windows 7 and 3.6.2 it was only 53 seconds. Guess I should try more 
comparisons to know if this is a real improvement, POV or Windows, or just 
by chance.
