Re-examination of extensive photometric data of TV Col reveals evidence for a
permanent positive superhump. Its period (6.4 h) is 16 percent longer than the
orbital period and obeys the well known relation between superhump period
excess and binary period. At 5.5-h, TV Col has an orbital period longer than
any known superhumping cataclysmic variable and, therefore, a mass ratio which
might be outside the range at which superhumps can occur according to the
current theory. We suggest several solutions for this problem.Comment: 5 pages, 2 eps. figures, Latex, proceedings of `Evolution of Binary
