[Opensim-dev] Viewer doesn't render attachments after teleport

[Melanie]

I don't know if this may be related, but for some reason OpenSim
fails to update the viewer's notion of position properly.

The most noticeable effect is that sometimes after changing regions
or even parcels, sound is no longer heard. The audibility check
happens viewerside, just as the object visibility check.

If the viewer gets a wrong location, it may consider the attachments
as "too far away" and not render them - that is probably related to
why zooming can make them appear.

Therefore I don't believe we need to send any extra packets related
to these objects, but rather we are missing some packet or sending
wrong data related to the avatar's location.

This appears to be the case on moving in world as well as teleports,
but I have so far never observed it at login.
