One window pane = 2 trace levels. You may have reatched the max_trace_level. 
Also, each face count against the radiosity recursion_limit.
Anyway, it's effect is negligeable as the two faces are parallel.

The cause depend on what you use for those. Can you post the code for the candle 
flames? (on povray.binaries.scene-files)
If you use a media, you may need to add "media on" in the radiosity block.

Normal calculation in radiosity is very expensive.
