I just discovered a memory leak while working on the vwarp() patch: I 
forgot to add code which deletes the pattern variable for 
eval_pattern()...the internal parts are cleaned up, but the structure 
itself remains after the function returns.(oops!)
Just add
    POV_FREE(New);
after the call to Destroy_TPat_Fields() in Parse_eval_pat().
