I suppose I could have been more specific in my explanation. The gaps
aren't occuring between my approximate curve and a primitive; they're occuring
at the joints between facets of the approximate curve. An example of the
faceting can be seen here (I apologize for the inclusion of a clone, but it's
the only example I have at the moment):

The gapping is hard to see in this image, but it tends to occur along the
seem between longitudinal facets of an approximated curve. Can you think of a
way to remedy this?
Dave!
