Thanks,

I had read the changes in Chris Casons post and had read that dispersion 
and radiosity were back in - but only just and in need of testing...

I'd even read the penultimate line,

"Note that parsing and photon building will only use one
thread no matter how many are specified."

However for reasons that escape me I'd missed the line at the top saying
"o Photon support is not yet completed."

Arg - Sorry to pester everyone.
