 Doesn't make any sense to me why ifield[0] should get a random value.
 Maybe just use the working solution?

 FYI, I have already taken some algorithms from GEOS, translated from C++
 to C, optimized where possible and put into the grass7 vector libs,
 replacing less efficient algorithms (topology building for areas). If you
 want some GEOS functionality to be available in the grass vector libs
 directly, we could join forces.

 Best, Markus
