[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v6.0.1

I found out that it happens when a polygon is just three collinear or 
nearly collinear points, and the polygon's "plane," which is degenerate, 
is somehow the best choice for a BSP split.

I still haven't gotten the upcoming release's Plot to generate a 
collection of shapes that causes nontermination. I'll just push the fix 
I used in my dev branch, which detects degenerate planes and calls the 
failure continuation to try the next plane. The BSP tree build should 
have been sanitizing its inputs like that anyway.

Doug, have you seen nontermination in your tests?
