Forgot to mention that I went back to using a single thread for the tests, to
eliminate most of the scene's other radiosity flicker.

Sorry, that was a bit confused. What I meant to say was, it DOES keep the object
from emitting radiosity light-- but it does not stop the same 'non-light' from
causing animation flicker in the rest of the scene's radiosity when the object
has a moving pigment, like the oscilloscope screen. That's the paradox.
