High!

Today I tried to build a mesh2 from the 24-bit heightfield I recently 
generated from my original Ghurghusht isosurface (attached here)... 
after completing the eval_pigment() scan of the heightfield, POV-Ray 
crashed with an error message: "corrupted double-linked list" and a long
list of addresses...

Here is the relevant code:

#declare T_Ghurghusht=
texture
{
   pigment { color rgb <0.98, 0.85, 0.45> }
   finish { ambient 0.05 diffuse 1 brilliance 0.98 }
}

#if (tcm=0)
   #declare Ghurghusht =
     isosurface
     {
       function { Terrain_Function(x, y, z) }
       contained_by { sphere { 0, 1 } }
       max_gradient 5
       accuracy 0.0001
       double_illuminate
       texture { T_Ghurghusht }
       scale 5178
     }
#else
   #declare hf=
   pigment
   {
     image_map
     {
       png "tiles/ghurghusht360_n05_040.png"
     }
   }

   #declare sl=5124.6666;
   #declare rng=31.5519+6.2452;
   #declare ll=sl-6.2452;
   #declare long=40;
   #declare lat=5;

   #declare Ghurghusht =
   mesh2
   {
     vertex_vectors
     {
       1440000 // 1200 * 1200
       #declare a=0;
       #while (a<1200)
	#declare b=0;
	#while (b<1200)
	  #declare rd=eval_pigment(hf, <1/2400+b/1200, 2399/2400-a/1200, 0>).red;
	  #declare gr=eval_pigment(hf, <1/2400+b/1200, 2399/2400-a/1200, 
0>).green/256;
	  #declare bl=eval_pigment(hf, <1/2400+b/1200, 2399/2400-a/1200, 
0>).blue/65536;
	 
(ll+(rd+gr+bl)*rng)*<sin(radians(-long-(10/3)*(1/2400+b/1200)))*cos(radians(lat-(10/3)*(1/2400+a/1200))),

sin(radians(lat-(10/3)*(1/2400+a/1200))), 
cos(radians(-long-(10/3)*(1/2400+b/1200)))*cos(radians(lat-(10/3)*(1/2400+a/1200)))>
	  #declare b=b+1;
	#end
	#warning concat("Assigning vectors for line ", str(a, 4, 0))
	#declare a=a+1;
       #end
     }
     face_indices
     {
       2875202 // 1199 * 1199 * 2
       #declare a = 0;
       #while (a < 1199)
	#declare b = 0;
	#while (b < 1199)
	  <1200*a + b, 1200*a + b+1, 1200*(a+1) + b>,
	  <1200*a + b+1, 1200*(a+1) + b+1, 1200*(a+1) + b>
	  #if(b<(l-2))
	    ,
	  #end
	  #declare b = b+1;
	#end
	#warning concat("Parsing lines ", str(a, 4, 0), " and ", str(a+1, 4, 
0),".")
	#declare a = a+1;
       #end
     }
     texture { T_Ghurghusht }
   }
#end

// end of code

Why?

See you in Khyberspace!

Personaly, I'd use that image directly as a hight_field.

Is POV-Ray nowadays able to use 24-bit heightfields? I never heard of 
that...

But even if it would be possible, it will probably be of no use to me, 
as my terrain relief should follow the curvature of the planet's surface!

See you in Khyberspace!

You should do an optimization of the mesh before using in POV-Ray. This 
will also let you bend the mesh to do curvature, since you're getting a 
mesh as a result whose vertices you can move.
