Attack of the evil fireflies

[Bwana Kahawa]

I've been playing around with the Simulens options over the last few weeks and have noticed something really odd happening - anybody have any idea why this might be happening?

 

I set a render going a couple of days ago and noticed some red pixels appearing, much like the usual white 'fireflies' do in Maxwell renders. I figured they'd clear up as the render progressed. I came back to it today and it now looks like a scene from a horror film! The red pixels have increased rather than reduced.

 

Any ideas what might be causing it? It's a pretty basic scene!

Wow, I can't say that I've ever seen anything like that before, if I were to guess I'd think it's either a corrupt scene or the result of a new bug from the latest update.
