I'm glad to see the texture_map/photons bug fixed, but the average "pattern"
seems to have problems still. It doesn't seem to be related to translation.

Here's a scene I made while tracking the texture_map bug. As before,
changing the texture_map to texture{pigment_map} make caustics show up.

Sig,

I have confirmed this bug and have solved it.  There was an errant statement
that assigned the color black to all photons that hit a surface with an
average texture.  This has been fixed.

I hope to release a bug-fixed MegaPov 0.5a in a few weeks, so you shouldn't
have to wait too long.  Thanks for your help.
