Tracer pointer question

[Amuscaria]

How far away from the target can I be before I'm unable to register it as the tracer? I'm having a couple small bug with the HF Immolator where if you're too far away (>512), the A_DamageTracer actions it calls fails to do damage. And there is also another minor random bug, sometimes the fire doesn't dissipate and just keeps looping the death-state (even though it isn't coded that way) until I acquire another tracer.
