That is wrong!  Something didn't look right about the curve, so I went 
back and double-checked the Bézier theory.  The correct solution is this:

   SphereSweep_Approx
   ( SSWP_BEZIER_SPLINE,
     array { P1, P2 * 2/3 + P1 / 3, P2 * 2/3 + P3 / 3, P3 },
     array { Line, Line, Line, Line}, 100, 0
   )

I will post an example illustration in p.b.i.
