Have you tried running this with calibration applied, where each
channel has slightly different curves?  Specifically, the cases where
a specific channel hits the ceiling much earlier than the others.  I
haven't examined the code in detail, but my intuition says this is
going to significantly skew the results.

Why (255 * 256 * 3)?  Seems like your intention is to pick the point
where right-most point where no values are clamped, but this is going
to give you the right-most point where any curve has not been clamped,
with a margin of error.

It's been a while since I've looked at the gamma stuff, so feel free
to set me right if I'm off-base.
