 From what I can tell, the radiosity algorithm basically takes a patch 
from a surface, traces out from it in a psuedo-random pattern ([[count]] 
points), averages it together and calls the illumination of that patch 
the result. So, it makes sense that caustics would happen.

I have not looked at the code to see if this is really what it does. 
There's more to it, I'm sure.
