I don't get what you want to say in the sentence above.

Yes, and this will remain the way it is unless someone comes up with code to
determine the bounding box of a Catmull-Rom spline segment.  It turns out the
original sphere_sweep code simply adds a bit to the control point bounding
box.  The problem appears only for Catmull-Rom splines because they may exceed
their control points which the code uses to find the bounding...
