It was about as stable as XP if you rotated one of the object by 0.1
degrees, or if it - nowadays - had the fixed ray intersect function from
ray.c which works with 90 degree angles :) (which I think was the
problem)

to remove doubles because I was totally convinced that converting extruded
curves to meshes would give closed objects.
