Yep, you found it too. I razzed Lars about it and, if I recall correctly, he
put an undocumented (or maybe it is documented?) switch in L3P that forces it
to handle the rendering of just one piece properly.
The problem actually lies in the '#declare' line immediately above the final
'object' line.
If you have a model with two or more pieces, that declare line places the
proper color codes at the end of each line.
But if you just have a single item, it does not place any color code with it.
So it instead ends up using the default backup color code of #7 in the final
object line.
Wait! I looked through email, and the switch to use is -c
Dang! That is no longer undocumented, it shows up in the L3P help screen.
