I did some tests and found that max_gradient, adc_bailout, max_trace_level
all have no effect on the outcome. Neither does moving the superellipsoid
(except if you move it down so that it DOES intersect the plane).  This is
true for both the superellipsoid and isosurface versions.  The only thing
that I could change to remove the dots was reducing the ior value. In the
end, I'm not sure what causes the dots, but perhaps this will help someone
else identify the problem...
