That's exactly what happens, it's the bounding box of all primitives.  It 
behaves that way so that the entire wireframe draws entirely in-view for mged.

Of course, for the rt* tools, that's lame.  Begs for another option to 
autoview, perhaps to only consider union and intersection primitives.

The real/robust solution -- which we're not yet capable of calculating -- 
requires converting all primitives to brep/nurbs (done), evaluating the boolean 
intersections for all surfaces (not done), then extracting an exact bounding 
box (done).

Cheers!
