Hi John-

Thanks for the feedback.
What you have done assumes that the mesh is manifold (i.e., each face of the
tetrahedron is used by at most by one other tetrahedron). Your fix is good,
thanks.
Quite frankly, I am totally unhappy with the speed of this operation, even
with your
improvements. (What version are you running, some changes were made in the last
several months. Also, would it be possible to get your data?) I'd like to
find a better
way to do this...for example, it is possible to extend the unstructured
grid structure
so that it can be optimized for this operation at the cost of additional
memory, etc.
