Can you show a complete and concise example of the problem? It seems like
you are calling closestPoint() on the Nurbsurface class and not an
instance. Either that or a bug. I wouldn't think you should need to worry
about the SafeApiPtr stuff as that is probably internal and it is referring
to a problem of not being called on a valid instance.
