I arrived after that, so I had no knowleadge about previous state.

I think that the current state for non-rounded thermals is OK.
It keep the ratio between cooper and empty space the same with
growing clearance.

There is completly different story with the rounded ones..those get
worser with growing clearance. But I have no idea how to do the math
correctly(I am into discrete math, not geometry :-(( ).

I don't remember exactly, but when I was investigating the crash
I found problem in some function calculating intersections.
