Hmm, could you post an example portion of the result? Or an .hdr version 
of your image so I can try it?

How intense are the brightest areas of light in the original image? I 
personally wouldn't use values much higher than rgb <2,2,2> for 
light_sources, fog and such. I know that really small (<.1) lb_exponent 
values will increase the chance of an image developing artifacts. This 
is made worse by values which are too bright. If this the case with your 
scene, you probably don't want to re-render the whole thing simply to 
make some glare. A color-normalizing file shouldn't be too difficult to 
put together; perhaps I should consider making one. Hopefully it works.
