This seems rather strange, to say the least.  Under MP 0.7, any
expression involving addition, multiplication, subtraction, or division
bails out with the error message:
error: object or directive expected but * found instead.
or
error: no matching } in object, * found instead.

Some example lines which produce this error:
#declare foo = 1*2;
#declare bar = 1+2;
plane{y,0 translate y/2}
sphere{0,0 scale <1,1,1>-2}

I hope I'm not going insane, here.  This is happening under Windows as
well as PvMegaPOV under Linux.  Can anyone else confirm this bug?

Can't reproduce your error here. Your code works fine. Win MPov 0.7

Well, I was.  I had recently tried out the Skyvase benchmark, which uses
INI option -mv2 -- a version setting which tends to disallow arithmetic
operations.  I feel rather foolish, o'course.  Note to self -- always
check those ini options..
