Hey all,

The following 3 pics demonstrate a negative effect that photons are having
on my scene.

(Hopefully, in order) the first one has no glass, the second has glass but
no photons, and the third has both glass and photons.  The pigment for the
glass was rgbf <1,1,1,1> with your basic glass finish.  The brass is a
modified "metals.inc" texture.  The problem is with the brass texture on the
metal pieces inside the glass dome.  Especially the dolphin, which changes
drastically when photons are used.

I've tweaked texture (glass and metal), photon settings, lighting, and
everything I could think of and this is the best that it gets.
