(I reimplemented my approximatepointset using a dictionary an equality comparer which used fmod to round values, not quite as correct but it seems to still work well enough.)<\/p>\n It was interesting to see that attempting to manually capture a stacktrace (which happens just fine when you throw an exception) throws a security exception.\u00a0 Also Debug.WriteLine caused me some grief, had to remove those.
