 Chris,

 I am happy (sad ?) to report that regardless of what I tried I could
not repeat the blotchy pattern that you are seeing when rendering the
same scene. I tried it with the included .ini file, with different
output image file formats, turned radiosity on and off, tried it
with the .ini file and the global settings commented out, several
combinations with and without AA, with the global settings used but
no ini file, and with both the global settings and the .ini file not
used. I basically ran out of possible combinations to try to reproduce
the blotchy appearance but failed at every attempt.
  The only thing I can think of that I did try, but failed because
I have an older version, is to render the file while inside Moray
itself. There might be a bug in the way that Moray is working with
Pov as an external rendering process. You did not mention if this
behaviour manifests itself when you render directly within Pov and
have Moray shut down but I suspect you like most Moray users seldom
use Pov as a stand alone program.
 I would suggest we get another Moray user to try the .mdl file and
see if they can reproduce the same problem you are seeing. If they
can duplicate the problem it's time to talk to Lutz about how to
correct this abhorrent behaviour you are observing.
  You might try to render it directly in Pov to see if the output
is the same. If you can't reproduce it directly in Pov but it comes
back in Moray it is something to get worried about.
