strange artifacts in rendering (and Yosemite bug)

This is fantastic news! (Roland/Lars, take note...)

I don't recall, is there a concrete test for the fork() thing? I was just in the midst of re-making the Radiance packages (we need to support 32-bit Windows still), but I will *happily* reset the release tag to this commit and start over again, if it means I get to re-enable OpenStudio-Radiance multithreading on Yosemite!

In any event, I checked in a change that I'm hoping fixes this issue under Yosemite, while not costing us too much on all the other Unix platforms that don't have this issue.

To that end, I just moved the NREL 5.0.a.4 release tag up to Greg's latest
commit, and have posted a fresh Mac installer on there, so now you don't
even have to be able to compile from source to help Greg test this out!
Come and get it:

Windows (including 32-bit!) and Linux packages will be re-made and
re-posted to this release page shortly.

I have not tested all the programs fully under Yosemite to make sure
there are no more deadlocks. I would appreciate help on that from the
user community ahead of the official 5.0 release, which I'm hoping to get
out in the next week or so. That means getting a 5.0a installer out or
getting volunteers who don't mind compiling from source to run rvu,
rtrace, rcontrib, genBSDF, etc. in -n >1 mode....

Cheers,
