[Radiance-general] rvu: too many modifiers in ambient list

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi,

this is a really late follow-up...

I am having still these problems from time to time, and while I can 
debug that, I am curious about the consequences of this overflow.

When one modifier has been "instanced" too many times, what effect does 
this have for the exclude list? Will all the "instances" of the modifier 
up to the limit still be excluded? Will the modifier who has been 
instanced too often be not excluded at all, but other modifiers which 
are in the range still get excluded when on the exclude list? Or will 
the whole exclude list be ignored if one modifier causes the overrun?

TIA+CU, Lars.
