Hi everybody.

I wanted to see if anybody had an idea about what is going on in the picture.
The "Left Screen" is running on an ia64 system using 3 processors.  The
"Right Screen" is also running on an ia64 system, but it is using 25 processors.
Both are using a custom camera class, which uses a matrix to generate the eye point and 
the raydir.

It seems that the "noise" in the image is related to the number of processors we use.  The
more processors the more "noise."

Any ideas would be awesome.
