Yes - I think someone must have added something like that.

I just created a very tiny cube in AC3D - and when I load it into PPE (a PLIB-based
modeller), it comes out as a flat rectangle.

Evidently.

Does anyone want to confess to making this change? If so, the threshold needs
to be **MUCH** smaller.
