I do agree that it isn't supposed to work, because the BFC spec very carefully
states that any polygons drawn with an aggregate matrix that causes mirroring
must be flipped back.

I'm sorry that LDView is crashing your system, but it won't help here anyway,
since it doesn't have BFC support.

Or you could just use INVERTNEXT, which will work for both 2D and 3D objects,
and doesn't require any additional matrix math (Isn't that what it's there
for?):
0 BFC INVERTNEXT
1 16 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 10 4-4disc.dat
(Note that I haven't looked an L3Lab's handling of BFC, but I have examined the
BFC spec fairly closely. If INVERTNEXT was introduced into the spec after L3Lab
was written, then it won't be supported by L3Lab.)
