relightning ojaroad map makes pssetup crash

Relightning map /planeshift/art/world/ojaroad01.zip

crystalspace.maploader:
  The flag for render priorities is no longer needed
fken@posseidon:/usr/local/bin/planeshift/planeshift$

According to jorrit on IRC a few days ago:

Jorrit: Maps should NEVER be relit by users.
Jorrit: That option that is added to pssetup to do that is stupid.
Jorrit:   It doesn\'t make sense.

It\'s a known problem that there is something wrong with relighting oja from setup. The suggested solution is to run \"./psclient -nolightmapping\" if you have a lighting bug.

You may try to toggle your monitor brightness using OSD or gamma settings using xgamma program, anyway if you set gamma too high you may damage
your monitor.

Why is relighting of maps by users a bad thing ?
I must relight maps, because I usually use fresh cvs version of Crystal Space / Planeshift , and current versions of lightmaps in art files (LMVERSION=2) are incompatible with newer version of CS (LMVERSION=3). Also note, that lightmaps brought with recent updates (for example for akkaio map LMVERSION=3), are incompatible with \"official\" 0.3.011 release.

My experience shows, that best relighter is... \"walktest -relight\". I don\'t know why, but it can relight ojaroad map also (when applications \"lighter\" and \"lighter2\" end with segfault).
