Wavefront is extremely picky about the image size of rla files.  In fact,
it will not recognize those image sizes (formats) that are not defined in
$WF_DIR/src/config.c.  Wavefront's handling of rlb files is much more
forgiving.  However, don't forget to include the "-imf rlb" option when
viewing (or compositing or whatever).

The current URT/Wavefront-related conversion routines are buggy.  I believe
a new patch to the URT is coming out soon.  If you would like some assistance
now, contact me directly.
