[Opensim-dev] Negative z values

[Jim Williams]

Well...I just tried "terrain fill -100" and with Firestorm it does make the
problem with looking down into the sea while above the water more obvious,
but once the camera is below sea level I can't see anything particularly
problematic.

Doesn't seem to me that there's anything broken, and therefore there is
nothing to fix.
