I suspected as much. Didn't want to keep any diagnostic info to myself ;-)

Alas, then I'll have to wait a bit more.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help. Then I get an empty result at some point
- see the attached "exception.svg" file.

It appears that it doesn't, the spike is still there. I tried this without
defining BOOST_GEOMETRY_NO_ROBUSTNESS, as the empty result I described
occurs sooner than the generation of any spike.

I have attached the two inputs (poly0/1) and the result that I get from the
union.
