PS,  I HAVEN'T tried this with the 3.7 beta.  Err, what else..  Yup, also 
beware that after some time into the animation, the sheer mass of 
accumulated radiosity data could get so large that it takes LONGER per frame 
to load the data and render the frame, absorbing huge slabs of RAM in the 
process, than it would have been emptying it and continuing with a clean 

around a static object, so the file eventually stored data for a lot of 
off-screen geometry and was more than 200MB in size.

Cheers again,
  Brian
