I have used a table with the �Universal Transverse Mercator (WGS84) Zone 32
Northern Hemisphere (i.e. 8,104...) to build lines over region borders. I do
that by extracting with ObjectNodeX..Y of 2 successive nodes coordinates and
using the creatline() function. All that is done after setting the coordsys
to that of the table.

I have used the program in many occasions without problem but the above
projection makes my program crash. The origin of the crash is that the
created lines are not lying exactly over the corresponding �sides� of the
regions. I have observed for one node (I guess it is representative of the
situation) a shift in the X direction only: a region node at (872411.6012,
5819181.1726) is converted to a line end at (872411.6502, 5819181.1726).
This shift of 4 cm about is enough to make my program crash

I seem to remember that someone wrote about a similar case, and that it was
due to a fault in this projection model during the coordinate conversions to
read in the values and to insert them back in the objects.

Any confirmation of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
