I would guess that you have too many faces on whatever model that is.

Import debug.wrl into max and find the blue triangles, try to fix them

i tried importing debug.wrl but it just froze max and then i had to shut it down.............i guess i could try it again.

Er, why not try Sapien? It seems to do a better job.

well for one sapien takes way to long to load and run radiosity on my comp. 2 i've used tool for 3 other maps and its worked perfect until this one. 3 its a hell lot faster and can run in the background instead of having to have the game window active in order for it to run.

when i do it, even in sapien it screws up...

ive looked at the blue faces in the **MAP**.wrl, but it doesnt really help - ive tried changing all the UVWs...

ah cmon - its stopping me from making my map

edit: does editing boost the thread?

I also had this problem, and it seemed to be localised around areas where I had a separate object (a base or whatever) on my level. The only way I could find to get rid of it was to delete my base object and create it again.
