Well spotted! The SGI tessellator is the de facto standard, so we should 
really handle this bug. Although a list of (weight, property) pairs might 
really be better, I am extremely reluctant to change the API, but it turns out 
that we don't have to: We *have* a default value, namely the first vertex 
passed to the combiner. This is never NULL and the weights for the NULL 
vertices are always zero, so we can happily use this. A corresponding patch 
has been committed.

Cheers,
