I know the noise generator has been changed to remove plateaus.  However, as the
following shows, it doesn't appear to generate a full range of values (from
0-1).  I appologize if this has been mentioned and discussed already.  If so,
point me to the right spot.

If noise_generator 3 is used, the following is solid red rendered at 800x600.  I
would expect that some white (even if just flecks) would be visible, considering
it is set to 30% red.  Using noise_generator 1 works as expected.  Noise
generator 2 yields the same results as 3.

// Complete scene
sphere
{
  z * 3, 1
  pigment
  {
    granite
    #declare P = 0.7;
    color_map { [P rgb x][P rgb 1] }
    noise_generator 3
  }
  finish { ambient 1 }
}


Thanks POV-Team!
