Gentlemen,

I borrowed the FurTex macro from http://runevision.com/ of Mr. Johansen.
Focal blur made the band of black dots with FurTex in my scene.
I tryed both of 3.62 and 3.7RC2.
How I remove the black dots?
Advices are really appriciated.

Best Regards,

SDL to recur here.

Testing on 3.6 and I don't see any black dot near the horizon. Just did 
a render at 2600x768 with blur samples as you set them and reduced to 20.

Gentleman,

Thank you very much for your information.
I got POV-Ray 3.60.
3.60 didn't made the black dots as you said.
I wonder if I should report this to bugtracking system by any chance.

Meanwhile, I economized recurring SDL.
A warp directive dicides the appearance of the dots.

Best Regards,
