Hi all,

I'm trying to extrude a compound line, but inexplicably I'm getting
the error message

Impossible to extrude entity 5 (of type 214)

============ *snip* ============
// Points
p1 = newp;
Point(p1) = {0, 0.369615, 0.559808, 0.1};
p2 = newp;

Circle(c4) = {p4, p1, p2};
l1 = newreg;
Compound Line(l1) = {c1,c2,c3,c4};

What's going wrong?
