Maximum Z Coordinate?

So I'm using the OPENGL renderer and my stuff is starting to disappear when they're pushed back on the Z plane, so I'm guessing I'm hitting some kind of maximum Z coordinate. So what's the maximum Z coordinate? More importantly, how can I go past it?

As a side-note I'm using processing.js on an HTML5 canvas if that makes a difference.

this gives some details of the default settings, but i'm not sure whether they apply to processing.js

just to clarify:

when you push it away from you, the z-value is negative gets more and more negative (and the object smaller)
when you move it towards you Z is positive and gets bigger (and then when it gets near the camera it disappears)
when it's on same depth as the screen, Z is 0 (zero)
