I pretty much got rid of the spotty shadows, so the only remaining problem is
slight odd lighting near the edges of the patches.  Not much could be done
about that I would think.

I messed up when I posted my radiosity settings before.  The low error factor
should be closer to .3.  My error bound is down to .3 - your .06 seems really
low, which has got to take forever to render.  I'm using a count of 600, and
other than that I have the same settings as you.  The only thing I haven't
toyed with yet is the minimum_reuse.  Have any idea what that controls?
