NEC 4.1 Anomaly
 

Possibly I am doing something really dumb, but have not been able to figure
it out. I have been trying to model an inductor in NEC. NEC2 runs ok. If
I run NEC 4.1, single precision (NEC4S600), I get a disconnect of 55
micro-meters between segments 300 and 301 -- which is treated as an open
circuit (0.001 of a segment length at 44 micro-meters).

Changing the number of segments, or the number of turns, by one, corrects
the problem. Typically the segment end-points are within 3 micro-meters.
I have not identified all conditions when this occurs, but some combinations
of segments, and turns, do produce a disconnect. I have not completely
investigated NEC 4.1, double precision, but it does run the code below with
no disconnect evident.
