Oh, I was always testing files with povray 3.1g. (included in the
Linux distribution called Vine commonly used in Japan)

I just found the latest version of POV-Ray is 3.6.1.
I guess it would be better to write
#version 3.6;

And moreover, warnings like
File: tt1.pov  Line: 58
Parse Warning: Degenerate CSG bounding box (not used!).
...
still remain.

From now on I will use povray 3.6.1 for testing.

That is a nice suggestion.
We will change the program according to your suggestion.
