Andreas,

	I just realized I didn't answer your question.  I'm sorry.  In case  
you or any one else was wondering,  I was using the example program  
"handling double coordinates".

Thank you for your help and patience,
-- Gilbert

It seems I have to apologize for making such a stink here.  It was  
probably a false alarm.

I think I had unreasonable expectations on the speed of the  
computation and thought the program had gone into a loop.  I managed  
to push a smaller model (3756 vertices 7512 triangles) through the  
conversion both ways just now by waiting about half an hour.  I also  
know the model in question has some very funky joins between parts  
(lots of long, close, sharp polygons) so I'm pretty sure this was  
just a matter of patience.  If only I was testing with the teapot.   
Then I could make a really awful joke about watched teapots.

I just ran another model (1007 vert 2010 tri) through just fine, much  
faster, so yeah...

Gilbert,

It might be the best to just post a file that makes problems.
What is your OS/compiler, did you just take the example or
demo program, or write your own program? In the latter case
what kernel did you chooses?
