What's wrong with this stupid code? SOLVED

Hi all,
I'm having a very stupid problem with openGL, I've searched the web (kinda hard to desrcibe the problem in search terms though), and I wasn't able to fix it.
The problem is fairly easy: When I render a simple sphere (via freeglut), all is ok. But now when I set the scene to perspective mode (via gluPerspective), I set the camera (via gluLookAt) and enable backface culling, the sphere becomes all messed up. It isn't backface culled at all, it seems to be randomly culled.
This is what i get as output
Can someone please tell me what I did wrong??
Thanks in advance,

near plane is to close, try 'gluPerspective(45.0,1.0,0.1,100.0);'
also if that doesnt work you might want to try something like 'gluPerspective(45.0, (GLfloat)width/(GLfloat)height, 0.1, 100.0);' Thats how I always do it..

Right, that solves the random culling. Thank you very much for that!
But now i still don't have backface culling on the sphere. Any ideas there?

how do you know? Back face culling means it doesn't draw the backside of a polygon aka the part you can't see. Front and back are determined by winding. If I remember correctly Clock wise is front by default CC is back by default.

Well, since a sphere has the nice habbit of having 2 conversion points (the poles), i can tell that the backfaces are not deleted. If they are deleted, i should be able to see only one of these spots at the time (most of the time). I'm seeing them both, so I don't think they are deleted.
The only possibility that i would be able to see them both, is if the wiresphere coats the innerside of the sphere as well. (unlikely)
I'm still stuck at the backface culling it seems :s

I guess i have to take my words back on that "coated on the inside " thingy, freeglut does seem to do it! I replaced the sphere with a polygon quad and now it is correctly culled.
Thx for the help
