Rather than fight with that problem, I just stripped off the second loop for a finish pass, and put conditional initialization at the top of the file , so if [#<_pass_no> lt 1] it sets the roughing values, and if [#<_pass_no> gt 1] it sets things up for the finish pass. With pass_no = 0 it worked just fine, but I ran out of luck when I quit linuxcnc, that was probably the 6th or so time I had run it and quit it, and the box locked up tight, I had to dress and go out and power cycle it to even get this machine to open this email message to the list, locked up ssh sessions tend to do that. I have no clue where the lockup is occurring other than its a quiting time total crash. Not even the hardware reset button works. I thought I had fixed that with the bios update, but now I'm not so sure. But its rebooted again, so now to test it with pass_no = 2. I am only logged into it with ssh -Y, not even locally from its own keyboard. Looks good, run time 20.55 hours though. And I have found a way to see the taper of the inside of the circle. Look at the Y view, blow it way up & slide the preview to the right so I can see the ghosting of the z motions, and the taper is pretty easily seen. So it looks like I may have usable code. I wonder if that run time estimate takes into account that it checks for air cuts as the taper grows, and if the radius has expanded into air, it skips the cut and the loop marches to the end of that iteration of the z pass without tool motion? There may be a newer version on master-rt, this one is 2.6.0-pre0-2650-gea84cd9 that is crashing every 5-15 invocations as it quits. I get the impression that if I don't "run" the code I am previewing, it lasts longer between crashes. Perhaps that could be a clue?
