As we said, it is in an alpha state, and does not really work in many, many 
cases.  We had to release a new beta but radiosity just needed a tiny bit 
more work than we had time for to get those things worked out.  A new beta 
will appear in a few days or so and add the corrctions we were working on. 
This is a beta test and we marked radiosity as in an alpha state, so what 
you report is expected and the simplest thing is to not waste your time on 
it when you notice it doesn't work for you until we say we think we have 
worked out the major known problems.
