I've got a scene with radiosity, when I render it with focal blur
it's *much* brighter than without. So what's happening?

The radiosity settings were taken from Nathan's web page:
  ini_option "+QR"
  ini_option "Preview_Start_Size=16"
  ini_option "Preview_End_Size=8"

  radiosity{
    count 35             // CHANGE range from 20 to 150
    nearest_count 5      // CHANGE range from 3 to 10
    error_bound 2.25     // CHANGE - range from 1 to 3 - should correspond with
Preview_End_Size
                         //   1 : preview_end_size = 4
                         //   3 : preview_end_size = 8
                         //   use preview_start_size = 16
                         // you can go lower than 1, but then you probably will want
to set
                         // preview_end_size to 2, which is really slow
    recursion_limit 3    // CHANGE
  
    low_error_factor .5  // leave this
    gray_threshold 0.0   // leave this
    minimum_reuse 0.015  // leave this
    brightness 1         // leave this
  
    max_sample 2         // CHANGE - this should be the same as the brightest object
    adc_bailout 0.01/2   // CHANGE - use adc_bailout = 0.01 / brightest_ambient_object
  }

And the focal blur settings are simply:
  aperture 0.05
  focal_point <0.0, 0.3, 0.0> 
  blur_samples 40

	The problem is still there with v6.1

I need an entire scene to do a real test, since I can't duplicate it with
scenes I create.  Thanks.

	Actually radiosity has nothing to do with it, I get the same problem in
another scene... I'll try with the official version...

	... oups sorry Nathan, the problem is still there in the official pov
(3.1g). I'm posting the source in p.t.s-f so that other can check it
out...
