This DOES NOT fix the problem for values above or below 1.0  Above
1.0, radiosity affects _totally_ disappear.  Below 1.0, I get the same
old problem.
Sorry.  The fact is that the brightness value is ACTUALLY changing
back to 3.3 during rendering.   I have been programming in ray tracing
since I was in high school and I know that POVray's radiosity works by
using a multiplier on already-existing ambient values of a surface.
(Note that having ambient values of zero on surfaces causes POV's
radiosity to dissappear.)  A larger "brightness"  increases the
multiplier on the ambient value before it is returned upwards to the
renderer.  This is how I know the effect I am seeing is caused the
brightness value.  
The bug remains!
