Originally, my Phobos has radii of about 13.4 x 11.2 x 9.2 POV units, as 
the sun sits at the origin, Phobos' orbit together with Mars is about 
227900000 POV units wide. Knowing that most objects at such distances 
won't render correct, I introduced a scaling divisor and set it to 13347 
- probably this is too high for small objects like asteroids and 
irregular moons. I decreased it to 13 (!) - and then, the clipping 
disappeared!

See you in Khyberspace!
