Sounds like what I think about most of my code...

Out of interest Martin, do you use anything like the approach described here...

Edelsbrunner & Mucke (1990) Simulation of simplicity: a technique to
cope with degenerate cases in geometric algorithms.

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.38.5997

I've been trying to understand it.

No, unfortunately there's no debugging procedure.  This situation is due 
to a known limitation in the current overlay algorithm design.   So it 
doesn't need debugging - it needs some brilliant new thinking!


Thanks for the dataset  Good that you found a workaround.

I will send you the dataset in a personal email. I have actually now 
taken a different approach by splitting the datasets and using the 
Symmetric Difference Function in ArcGIS.
