That (might) be what its becoming grumpy about. A co-incident edge shouldn't cause a problem, but it might.

Sorry - I meant that _pcb_ can punch holes out of it. It does so internally, every time you place a component which cuts a clearance hole. The file-format for defining the polygon outline has no such feature. > I wrote a python script which looks at lines and arcs and makes the > poly. I don't have time to play with it now.
