 I solved my sphere picking problem rather unexpectedly.

 My model had some 1200 spheres, each created with pfdNewSphere
 and positioned with a pfSCS. Andrew Vincent of SGI Australia
 emailed me about fast molecule display with the advice that
 transforming tessellated spheres is Not Good. So I flattened
 and cleaned the scene graph.

 As well as redrawing faster, this also stopped the picking
 code crash.
