Performer users:
        I am trying to use Bins to customize the rendering order of
various geometry in my scene tree to avoid some flimmering problems. I
put several GeoSets (representing a starfield) in DrawBin 2. In the draw
callback I explicitly draw Bin 2, followed by a z-buffer clear, and then
I draw the default PFSORT_OPAQUE_BIN and PFSORT_TRANSP_BINs.
        The problem is that despite my best efforts, the GeoSets are ending up
in the PFSORT_TRANSP_BIN instead of Bin 2. I have tried using different bin
numbers, but they don't fix the problem. When I don't specify a
particular bin, the cull process places the GeoSets in the
PFSORT_OPAQUE_BIN. (I determine which bin they are in by selectively
calling the specific pfDrawBin)
        Here is a basic flow of the calls I am making

In main app process (I am multiprocessing, Onyz RE2, IRIX6.2)
