Hi Peter, Any news on the topic of the "gray" polygons ? I have been experimenting more with this, and I can confirm that it occurs only when clipper is enabled.
If this can help, I have isolated a simple dataset (much simpler than last time) that triggers the bug. It is just one landmass polygon with a handful of vertices. This data is here: http://www.mguillaud.net/fg/2794338/2794338.tgz (I also include the fitted elevation, since I don't know if this data interacts with the bug). The bug occurs with fgfs-construct built from the code in papillon's tg850 branch (i.e. with clipper), with or without my attempts at adjusting the epsilon constants that can be found here and there in the code. I run "fgfs-construct --work-dir=[..] --output-dir=[...] --tile-id=2794338 SRTM-3 Landmass ", and the gray area is around -9.40025/51.5005 degrees. Any insight on this issue is appreciated...

Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
