Well,

    in reply to 1, the scene does not have any objects that small and it
renders just fine at hi-res without radiosity.

    in reply to 2, this kind of fully non-obvious error is nasty in the
manner that it does not quite allow continuing the work since it gives
little clue about what is wrong, and IMO it looks like one that should have
been caught already in the parsing stage, and while it is not a total system
crash or program error, it still very well qualifies as Abnormal End.

    and to 3, if there are features that do not work in conjunction but are
not documented incompatible (like cutaway_textures and radiosity appear now)
then it's a bug. And at least 98% of the only cutaway_textured object is
already rendered at that stage, although there is no way knowing where the
radiosity pincushion might get its rays to.

But I'll try it anyway. It's not a big change. Thankx.

    'J.R.R'
