Mirror Reflections Wrong? 
 
Someone asks: I am trying to draw this picture in which a vase is between 2 mirrors.  After about the 4th reflection, either too much or too little light gets reflected and the image is either grey or white. I'm trying to get it to reflect to infinity, so any help would be appreciated. 

[snip! snip! snip!] 

If the answer is in the docs and I just missed it, RTFM and flame away... ;)
 

Federico Mena has the quick answer:
Yeah, you missed it :)  You have to increase the #max_trace_level

The default is 5.
