FS#78 - Wrong rendering of BeamTest-Scene in 3.7.beta.35a
Hi,
following scene will not be rendered correctly in 3.7.beta.35a:
http://lib.povray.org/collection/beamtest/cousin%20ricky%201.1/beamtest.html
maybe it is a configuration problem or it is a real bug.

No further beta tester feedback for way
over a month now; I consider that good
news.
Had a first look at this, and it seems like a bug to me. I'll investigate.
First analysis indicates that the use of cylindrical light sources plays a role in this.
Identified the underlying cause as a stupid bug messing up photon direction calculations for parallel light sources. Fixed with change #4934.
