i believe this explains why i'm having difficulty with my current 
project (rolly sphere) ... i thought i'd stumbled upon a cure when i 
used smooth vertex weights (blender) around the edges of the hole cut 
outs then recalculating the normal's. it /did/ get rid of the puckering 
that i was seeing around those edges for /non/ subsurface renders but i 
haven't been able to scale or sample them away entirely when using (they 
are diminished somewhat) subsurface.
