I ran into appearing/disappearing shadows that were corrected by that setting.
I believe the problem occurs in scenes that have a fairly large amount of
changing geometry. In my case, I had a robot and conveyors in a large room. As
the arm swung from position A to position B, and objects were hid/unhid with
hide keys, shadows would appear/disappear in other parts of the scene.
SHADOW-BIAS-ABSOLUTE=ON helped in this case, but required me to adjust my
shadow casting parameters.
