I seem to remember the same problem.  I would use the trace function to fix the
problem.  Shoot a ray from the camera toward the object.  Call the glow point
'pt,' the camera point 'cam,' and the point you get shooting a ray from cam
toward pt, 'tr.'  Then if the ray doesn't hit the object at all, or if
vlength(pt-cam) < vlength(tr-cam), draw the glow.  In other words, if the ray
hits the object before it reaches the potential glow, don't draw it.

But there may be a simpler way...
