i used povray-3.8.0-x.tokenizer.9945666-av627-Win64.  with the non-crashing
versions i show a very dark wall (gray), not my image.  i messed around with it
a little while and concluded i know nothing about 'warp'.  i also do not know
why putting scale before texture would work, or not work.  but recasting the
image_map as map_type 2 (no warp) works (shows the image), but crashes when the
scale is before texture.
