The ray tracer as posted dumps after doing 37.6% of the task,
returning the error: floating point exception.

There were no compile time errors.

Question: is the resolution of the output supposed to 450 x 450,
and are the pixels supposed to be non-square?
I plotted the data on a macintosh(square pixels) using a routine to
simulate gray level.  What it displayed looked like a grid on an angle
with one squashed sphere.

If there is interest, I will post the routines to convert the files from
256 level gray to 2 level.
