When you move for 2 minutes in one direction the inaccuracy of the 32bit floats 
themselves will cause funny 
effects. Since your location is stored with 32bit floats the computation of 
reflection etc. values will become 
impossible when the float is very large/inaccurate. This test is not meant to 
be a simulation of procedural 
"endless" terrain or something, so this can be considered normal.
