Not during the pretrace. Before you start the rendering. There are some cases 
where a radiosity sampling falls exactly on an internal corner. In those cases, 
the sampling can look behind a wall for example, taking information from a 
totaly dark area, leading to dark spots along the corner.
Changing pretrace_start or moving the camera very slightly can cause the problem 
sampling to miss the critical points.
