Yes, have a slightly different radius. If one has frame has 5mm 
corners and a 2nd 4.98mm, you will not see a difference. Excepting of 
course that OP then does not crash.

Based on my testing OP only crashes in these case if the 2 frames, 
created separately at different positions with identical corners, have 
a corner at exactly the same location. A minor offset - probably not 
seen -(F7 and check X and Y values) avoids a crash.

Hope this helps.
