The routine cannot join points in positions if there aren't any in the 
place you think they should be.

In particular, you do not have any samples at y=0, because

a) your 'isosamples' setting is even (should be odd)

> set isosamples 256,256

b) you didn't "set samples", so it also defaults to even 100, but you 
want it odd

Generally speaking, your expectation that a discrete contouring 
algorithm will _exactly_ locate a point-like feature like this saddle 
point is somewhat ill-founded.
