Yes, I can reproduce your problem, here is a sample scene. It should show a
strange dark spot near the center of the torus. (Crossposted to POV-Ray
bugreports.)


#version 3.1;

camera
{
  location  <0.0, 5.5, -0.5>
  direction 1.5*z
  right     4/3*x
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
}

light_source
{
  <-30, 30, -30>
  color red 1.0  green 1.0  blue 1.0
}

plane { y, -1 pigment {color rgb <0.7,0.5,0.3>}}

torus
{
  0.8,
  1.0
  texture {pigment {radial frequency 8} finish{specular 1}}
}
