[Radiance-general] strange behaviour, may be only radiance or ma cosx?

[Greg Ward]

Hi Pillo,

I just figured out what's going on -- it's a problem with the shadow 
cache, one I should be able to correct.  I'll get back to you with a 
fix.

Thanks for spotting the error!  Having a HEAD release is like working 
at Microsoft.  Lots of alpha testers....

P.S.  The shadow cache is disable for glow sources.
