the max_trace_level was an artifact of the way we handle that internally now;
it actually didn't need an extra level and was tracing more or less the same
number of rays. (you'll notice that it in general reports a trace level of
one higher than 3.6 for the same scene).

this has been fixed so hopefully it will act and report the same way now.
