Even more interesting: if you zoom in enough so that the 2 lines are
distinct, then pan repeatedly (try the home/end/pgup/pgdn keys), the red
line seems to wander away from the green line and then wander back again,
meeting at regular intervals.  So they agree at a set of virtual vertices,
and diverge elsewhere.

Your function geodesicPolyline() seems to compute 50 intermediate vertices,
is that right?
