This par has periodicity=0, so the next statements don't matter. Periodicity uses the value of z to determine when to bailout. The Mystic2 formula uses LastSqr for determining when to bailout, which in this instance is g.x^2 + g.y^2. Therefore, periodicity would calculate bailout based on the wrong variable.
Interesting. So why does it render correctly on the DOS parser?
There *is* a problem with the Xfractint formula parser. Try setting inside=zmag with this par. I get a segmentation fault.
What does the DOS version do? Something correct, or just something not crashy?
Also, for some reason the inside= options are not bailing out with the correct iteration count. This ties back to the problem seen in the colors with The_Layered_Look.
This is good; it feels like we are getting closer to understanding the real problem. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
