Ok, there was a mistake - I should have used absolute values.  You could using the 
sqrt distance
formula - as in the  attached version of your test program.

It works on my tests using your test program and dist will always be +ve.

If that doesn't work in your main application then we can try keeping the forward/back 
clip ratio
to a constant.  I see from your later mail you have used this solution.  Are you 
keeping the
ratio to 3000 or a smaller number?

cheers,

Chris
