double_illuminate works okay so long as I turn off radiosity, but I'll try
Slime-pov. Plus you've fixed the shadow-line artefact, if you look at the planet
image I posted the other day you can see it suffers from it! (though I can get
round that using no_shadow).

Sounds like you've been fixing lots of glitches that have been causing me
trouble! :)
