Hi,

Unsure about the web site issue. I mostly use thunderbird. Going to to 
web site forum interface just now (using firefox), I see in the unix 
newsgroup 13 totals posts in this thread - which matches what I see via 
thunderbird though as a couple branches from your original post. So, 
things look OK to me.

Aside: Posts on a topic end up presented as a single sequence on the web 
site interface no matter the newsgroup's hierarchy for the topic.

That you see green with the sphere scene test is fair confirmation 
whatever is happening is related to bounding(a).

POV-Ray ships with two bounding methods (1 & 2). What happens if you 
switch to bounding method two using the flag +bm2 ?

(a) - I have not even a guess as to cause...
