when you increase your recursion_limit, cut your samples by a little
less than half and it won't come out too bright.  when i did r2d2,
recursion of only one made his white body come out gray.  i have some
questions about your settings.  does error bound 0.05 really matter?  it
seems really small. same question about low_error-factor.  here are my
settings:

radiosity {
    brightness       1.0
    count            100
    error_bound      0.2
    gray_threshold   0.0
    low_error_factor 0.5
    minimum_reuse    0.015
    nearest_count    3
    recursion_limit  2
    pretrace_start .08
    pretrace_end .001
    normal on}
