Thanks for the tip!  I bumped count up to 1000, and it only changed the
shape/size of the artifacts.  However, you got me thinking, and by dropping
error_bound from 1.8 to about 0.2 the problem is resolved.  Funny thing
though, it seems to be dependent on the pretrace_end size and overall image
size.  Anyone have any suggestions as to what causes this in the first
place?
