Oh, yes, my bad. What I should have said was that this:

	pigment {
		pigment_pattern {
			rgb <100, 100, 100>
		}
		frequency 0
		pigment_map {
			[0.0 rgb <0, 0, 0>]
		}
	}

...results in an out-of-bound value (of 100) being passed to
Search_Blend_Func() --- pigment_pattern() doesn't clip the greyscale
value before returning it.

As the default frequency is 1, which causes the value to be wrapped, I
can't imagine this every actually happening in real life, but I still
noticed it when I was looking at the code.

That's not really related to my earlier comment, though. Can I reiterate
my plea for more visible documentation that function patterns should
only return values from 0 to 1? As you might have gathered, this wasn't
obvious!
