Broken? What's wrong in the tabread4~ interpolation? (note this is not a sarchastical question implying there's nothing wrong in it, it's a genuine question in order to learn what's wrong in it)
Is it a bug?

Well using 4 points to interpolate the curve that goes between the two inner points should guarantee the absence of discontinuities in the first (and second?) derivative; that should be the purpose. Now if there actually are discontinuities then there must be some trivial error in the equation, no????



Or am I missing something???
