Bill already fixed a bunch of tests to set NumberOfThreads=1 for this
mapper. TestSmartVolumeMapperWindowLevel must have slipped through
the cracks.

Fixing the bug in the mapper would be the correct way of ensuring
repeatable results: it's a multi-threaded mapper, but running it
with too many threads causes artifacts. In my view, the
"SetNumberOfThreads(1)" trick is a way of sweeping the problem
under the rug, out of sight and out of mind.
