Yes, despite some obscure Google references to max_trace_level in
radiosity{}, it appears that I am in fact talking out of my backside. There
is no such setting.

However, I conducted some experiments with an upturned glass bowl and
radiosity lighting. It would appear that both max_trace_level and
recursion_limit must be set high enough for the lighting to behave
correctly. Try adjusting the latter upwards...
