Apparently the polygon code requires start and end points to /exactly/ 
match in order to recognize the end of a "sub-polygon"; you can work 
around this with the following change:

replace this with

      j*<  cos(mod(i,num)*2*pi/num),sin(mod(i,num)*2*pi/num),0>

I'd consider it a bug nonetheless.
