Dear Peter,

Thanks, but there is a line in line 176:
      p *= l_full/scat_factor;      /* Scattering probability */
where l_full is "Length of full path through sample."

It seems to me that p is defined as the ratio of length of full path through sample to total size of sample. However, if scat_factor is as it is, p can be larger than unity.

Best regards,

Ryoichi
