If straight im is requested, we randomize all samples and avoid cache collisions. Added cnt -s option to shuffle output. + +Fixed issue with divide-by-zero errors in the ambient super-sampling +routine discovered by Jon Sargent of Solemma. This affected regions +that had zero radiance, such as black backgrounds or unlit areas +with -av 0 0 0, when super-sampling was effectively disabled, causing +some loss in accuracy of the results. + +Updated Klems Half- and Quarter-bases to match angles currently used +in WINDOW. + +Eliminated most aiming failures for triangular light sources, at the +expense of conservative sampling near the centroid. Thanks to +David Geisler-Moroder for his help on this. + +Increased maximum set size to 8191 to avoid set overflow errors.
