The patch came through fine.  It's just the wrong solution.
Mr. Alien-xmp must not have tested with anything other 
than a cube primitive, which is the only case it works correctly for.

The EditMesh->h flag isn't used for much, therefore it's almost always 0.
Anding with it keeps you from hiding edges that shouldn't be hidden, but also 
keeps you from hiding edges that should be hidden.  

Without the patch, subdivide a cube once and leave editmode.  Each side of the 
cube is drawn as 1 square even though it's 4 faces.  This is the way it's 
supposed to be.

Apply the patch, do the same.  Each side of the cube is drawn as 4 squares.

We can't be throwing away features to solve (rare) degenerate cases.  The real 
solution is to find why the degenerate case triggers the edge hide flag and 
make an exception for the degenerate case.
