I won't comment the patch itself since I'm not too acquainted with
those intricate geometric details.  However, please resend your patch
as an attachment; your mailing program inserts replaces ordinary
spaces with non-breaking space characters at arbitrary places...

Sounds reasonable if it gains some speed...
