Well I get light specs in shadow that I have to paint out in Photoshop. No IDL, lots of point lights.

Its a night scene with a moon above a log cabin with hanging lights. Terradome is in use for the moon and sky. The moon backlights the cabin. Hence the points lights. Where no light gets to. There is spots in the shadow.

Now I am afraid that this problem that you are all writing about wasn't fixed in SR3.1
