Using the very same focal blur sample sequence for all frames of an 
animation is by design, not by error; I'm pretty sure both earlier 3.7 
betas and 3.6 did the same (they used a pseudo-RNG instead of a Halton 
sequence, but unless I'm totally mistaken they started the PRNG all over 
again with the very same seed for each frame). There appears to be 
consensus among the POV-Ray animators that static noise should be 
favored over dynamic noise.
