But then it can be a million things and doesn't even have to do anything with
macros.  If it can't be reproduced, I am afraid it won't get fixed ... of
course, what would really help is an always crashing example.

Nothing except thata I didn't remember this particular example.  I think I
have found that problem now and assume it was the only one left from your list
of spline problems?

Essentially, my ikdea of some providing code was "fully tested" code, not code
I would need to debug myself and that would possibly need several iterations
until it completely works.  Without having time for it that is really the only
thing that could have been used.  Anyway, it is probably too late now.
