  I really hate to sound like a grammar nazi, but you consistently keep
writing it like that, and it hurts my eyes. It's "reproducibility".

  Btw, personally I would be more concerned about getting all threads
produce the same lighting for all the rendered parts, than trying to
make POV-Ray reproduce bit-by-bit the exact same image each time it
renders the same scene. The biggest problem with "radiosity" in POV-Ray
has always been that there's no way to distribute it because if you make
different instances render different parts of the program, the "radiosity"
lighting will be calculated differently in them, and a visible difference
will appear between the image sections rendered by different instances.
