The code that follows should be rendering a sphere, but it doesn't for 
me in POV-Ray 3.7.1-alpha.8638272. It would be useful if others running 
the current master branch could confirm whether the same is seen - 
especially if seen in windows. Thanks.

// 3.7-stable and 3.6.1 render the sphere.
// Believe -0.00012340980408667956 is max value at container side.
// fn01=fn03 suggests values coming back too negative.
// Tried compile with optimization/fastmath off and no change.
