   I too am no photon geek, yet!, but I have a note from one of Nathan's
 replies that in most cases you want the autostop set to zero. It is
 only when you have a situation where there are hidden holes, or surfaces
 out of the line of site, that you need to start adding in an angle to
 to the autostop. This is to make sure you are gathering enough photons
 for all of the surfaces present on the object.

   I just started a thread in the programming group with a list of my own
 observations and problems with the patch. People reading this and working
 with the patch might want to stop by that group and read my message.
 Adding your own observations and problems to that thread will digest it
 into one group so Nathan won't have to search every group on the server
 when he get's back from his trip and will find it easier to respond to us
 all. Plus it will be easier to read his responses without having to chase
 them all down.
