[Radiance-general] rtcontrib stdout

[Wendelin.Sprenger at ise.fraunhofer.de]

Dear all,

at least on my computer (and another one), rtcontrib does give different 
outputs depending on if it is written in a file with the -o option
or given as standard output. Here are the commands:

vwrays -ff -vta -vp 0 0 2 -vd 0 0 1 -vu 0 1 0 -vh 180 -vv 180 -x 128 -y 
128 | rtcontrib -n 1 -ab 2 -ad 1024 -lw 0.0003 -h -ffa $(vwrays -d -vta 
-vp 0 0 2 -vd 0 0 1 -vu 0 1 0 -vh 180 -vv 180 -x 128 -y 128) -e MF:1 -f 
reinhart.cal -b rbin -o test_file -fo -m sky_glow -w ground.oct

vwrays -ff -vta -vp 0 0 2 -vd 0 0 1 -vu 0 1 0 -vh 180 -vv 180 -x 128 -y 
128 | rtcontrib -n 1 -ab 2 -ad 1024 -lw 0.0003 -h -ffa $(vwrays -d -vta 
-vp 0 0 2 -vd 0 0 1 -vu 0 1 0 -vh 180 -vv 180 -x 128 -y 128) -e MF:1 -f 
reinhart.cal -b rbin -fo -m sky_glow -w ground.oct > test_file

The test_file is different for the two cases! (It shows different 
results.) If written in a file, the output is always identical,  also with 
the %s and %d options.
Can somebody help me with that, please? I couldn't find anything that 
explains this behavior.

Thank you very much
Wendelin
