It usually just ignored the bad line and carried on. For modelers working with highly corrupted imported CAD files (a common practice ten years ago), the old LibFredo6 was the only library that wouldn't have a panic attack.

For years, Libfredo6 was the heartbeat of the system. Without him, the great masters— FredoScale , Curviloft , and JointPushPull —were nothing but hollow icons [3].
