(sorry for the double posting)
I've been experimenting with glass and have come across some problems.  
Here is part of a scene that I created using Moray and sPatch.  The 
texture used for both the sphere and shot glass is Glass1 from the glass 
material library that comes with Moray.  Whereas the sphere is normal 
looking, the shot glass has all those black inconsistencies.  There are 
walls covering all sides of the objects, so the black is not anything 
reflected or refracted.  When I take away the refraction of the shot 
glass, the inconsistencies disappear.  How do I get rid of those 
inconsistencies?
(By the way, the shot glass was created from a lathe in sPatch then 
exported to Moray)

Thank you for the reply but it seems to have not done the trick.  I tried
taking away the reflection from the glass material as well as increasing the
max_trace_level but I still get the black distortions (even with very high
max_trace_levels).  I have attached the files for the scene if anybody
wishes to try their hand at it.

I haven't seen (or found) your scene file but could the floor plane be
intersecting it?
