And that was it.   I was juggling quite a few things while I was rewriting all
of this, and array size vs array elements is something I often stumble upon,
know that I do, was trying to be vigilant about it --- and failed.

 #local _Tooth = prism {
  cubic_spline
  0, 0.1, _Spline+1

Simply adding 1 did the trick.   :)

I understand, not real sure that's the case yet, but I do see an artifact now
that it's functioning and I've gotten some other debugging out of the way.

Very many thanks as always - a dose of clear thinking helps keep me sane.
