Ah. Excellent news.
Well, as long as the next Superpatch is being held up, that gives me
more time to eke out a more complete isoblob/function patch. The isoblob
is almost ready, I think, for more thorough tests. However, the
function-normal patch it currently relies on has a slight problem with
atan2(), which for the life of me I can't explain; even workarounds on
that one tend to screw up for some reason. (The problem is apparently
with the function normal itself, not with the actual function or the
interval solving--and the problem makes absolutely no sense, since it
seems dependent more on the ray than on the function arguments or the
order thereof, or even on transformations).
