[Therion] Scale dependant error when using area fills

[Pavel Herich]

Hi,
I am experiencing the same problem, with debris (not original Therion 
one). I realised, this error depends mostly on density of rock pieces 
drawn in the map. While high density crash compilation even 0,5 km of 
passages, with lover it works well with large caves, even the amount of 
pieces is much bigger.
I think it is because unpropriate syntax of area.
Pavel
