yes, I alsow think that this is float/double problem. And there fore using 
more accurate calculations may be useful in some scenes.

Scalning scene up reduce problem, but my scene IS legal, and it should 
produce correct results.

2 things that I will try to change at first - shadow_tolerance, and float 
to double, or double to long double (is shadow tolerance will not help)
