Hi pfFolks --

I'm sure this one is a no-brainer for some pfDude out there.

Putting one of my models into perfly, I found that something
clips the geometry when the EYPOINT (in drive mode) exceeds
a certain radius. This suggested to me that some bounding
sphere was too small, but this magic radius stays the same
even when I change the bounding sphere(s) in the graph.
It also seems to be unaffected by chan->setNearFar().
It also seems to be unaffected by chan->setTravMode(PF_CULL, whatever).

I can see the geometry which has a world coordinate
exceeding the magic radius until the eyepoint itself
exceeds this radius, at which point the geometry
disappears.

What else could be causing eye-position dependant clipping here?

Thanks, praise, and 10 Hail Mary's for whoever can help.
