Great (except that the colors render here as redish and grayish), thanks  
much !

Yeah that's what makes the 'S' in SVG indispensable :)

Don't ask me how often I have already done that (in the segment assembly  
method) but, it didn't turn up anything buggy ...

Nevertheless let me thank you for standing by me; often it's just the "you  
are not alone" strategy which kills the insect :)

Will now focus on the areas you colored in the .jpg, thanks again.

P.S. the more I think about this problem the more it smells like the  
path/line/beziers do not flush the engine appropriately (similiar to what  
you corrected and to what Gary commented last night).
