One can introduce self-intersections by removing or rounding points.

Example for the first:

    |
    | 
    *-----* 
--------* |
        | |
        | |
        | |
        | |
        | *---

Now, you remove the point of the outer corner because it is too near to
the two next points:

    |
    | 
    * 
-----X--*
      \ |
       \|
        X 
        |\
        | *---

It's no exact graphics, but I think it should be enough to get the
idea...

Markus
