Why does the specular highlight vanish if I make my light source shadowless?
Is there any way round this?

simple test scene:

//the blue light has a specular highlight, the red does not.
sphere { z*3, 1 pigment { rgb .5 } finish { specular 1 roughness 0.01 } }

light_source { <-1,1,-1>*1000 rgb <1,0,0> shadowless }

light_source { <1,1,-1>*1000 rgb <0,0,1> }


Any help would be much appreciated, it's causing massive slowdown in my render
to test shadows for 50 light sources.
