Seemed to work for me just now when I tried it. You just loose some
islanded sections.

The code is supposed to keep the largest piece of the polygon. Sometimes
this works fine. other times.. you want to re-connect the islanded
pieces, so it becomes a pain to have to redraw them.

You'll just have to beware of the connectivity checking failures with
"fullpoly" for now.
