   I think there is _something_ wrong with refraction too... I found a
case where, when the camera was looking through a refractive surface
(a "lens" in front of the camera) towards another refractive surface
(a "window" in a house), the backgound behind the window appeared
broken up into strange blocky shapes, even though the index of
refraction of the window was 1.0.
   And, stranger still, the window reflected the interior of the
house, even though Trace Reflections was not, I repeat, NOT, turned on.
