If you render in a format that have a deeper range, then you can reduce 
adc_bailout further.
If you render with +fn16 (16 bit per channel PNG), then, in some case, 
it may make cense to set: adc_bailout 1/pow(2,16)
But that can increase the rendering time if you have many reflections 
and transparence. It can also push you over the max_trace_level 
resulting in black pixels.
