System Information
Ubuntu 13.10 GeForce GT 640

Blender Version
Broken: 2.69.11 10f4c62
Worked: 2.69.0 r60991

Short description of error
If a single object mesh has geometry behind the viewport the knife tool fails to function properly.
Problematic for making a cave or other enclosed things that aren't meant to be seen from the outside.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Step 1. Enter edit mode for default cube.
Step 2. Move the viewport, in perspective mode, inside the cube. an easy way would be to just scale the cube or move the camera inside and swap to camera view.
Step 3. Try to use the knife tool.
Step 4. Delete a cube face
Step 5. Rotate viewport so there is no geometry behind it
Step 6. Try to use the knife tool again and it works.
