Is there an easy way to go about finding named nodes in a loaded model in the
DBASE process? I have been using pfNode::find() to retreive pointers to DOF
beads in the scene graph once the model has been loaded. Unfortunately, this
code does not function properly (i.e. dies in find()) when run in the DBASE
process. Of course, this probably makes sense to those of us who fully
understand all of the caveats associated with multiprocessing; unfortunately, I
seem to find myself trying to do a lot of things in forked processes that can't
be done.

I am going to try using the flight loader callbacks to get the pointers I want;
however, this will probably take some pretty creative coding to get it to work
the way I want it to. If anyone has a suggestion of an easier method, I would
certainly appreciate it.
