well, i finally solved it, but i'm still at a loss to explain

i removed the mapping on two objects (flags). these objects were extruded regions in autocad and were modeled to look like they were rippling in the breeze.

i'm not sure if the geometry was too complex, but whatever the case it seems to process the solution fine now.

i'm still surprised that diffuse mapping on a material would crash a radiosity solution. i have used this project for hundreds of students and i've never encountered this.
