Bug Description

When looking from an outer planet, the phase of the inner planet is often wrong,
the inner planet tends to stay almost full throughout it's orbit

For example

10/28/2011 - Earth from Jupiter - Earth in Inferior conjunction, none of Earth should be illuminated but it's almost full

11/07/2011 - Mars From Jupiter - Mars' Greatest Elongation, Mars should be ~50% illuminated but it's full

12/23/2011 - Earth from Uranus - Earth's GE, should be 50% illumination it's full

Just pick any outer planet, go to it and pick an inner planet and follow it through it's orbit, the inner planet will always stay almost full never changing despite what angle it is to the sun
