Just a quick info, I'll post full bug-report with test and minimalistic 
scene to reproduce bug tomorrow.

In 3.6 there stil is a bug that I reporded about half year ago in 3.5

Sometimes when using photons (refracted) and radiosity, colors of photons 
[spots] are wrong. In 3.5 "wrong" ment that their was in gray-scale, in 3.6  
I noticed either that, or - red component was missing (only green-blue 
photons).

Scene: Put an glass ball with ior say 1.5 and some dispersion on a ground 
(white plane). use photons on sphere  (target on),  use radiosity.

Reproduction of bug:
* wen You STOP render in it's pre-rendre radiosity phase and re-run it 
without restarting (frequency - about 1 in 4 times in Pov 3.5 and 3.6). 
Restarting Pov helps, with might suggest some kind of memory leak, or 
uninitialized variable.

* even when You normaly start render (without STOPing it first) same thing 
happends I think (frequency - I noticed in only once in about 30 renders, 
only in 3.6)

Please do not forget rest of bug-reporting guidelines then. TIA,
