I tried this on my Indigo Elan (running IRIX 4.0.2) with a simple scene made
up of two depthcued polygons that rotate around the scene with parts of each
polygon being cut out by the front, back, left, and right clipping planes as
they go, and I don't see any problems with the depthcueing of the remaining
portions of the polygons.  What machine are you seeing this problem on?
