Shielding Success Rates Mystery

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:XanderCat

Given that it is using it's own code to determine intersection rather than a JVM method, I wonder if the discrepancy between systems is actually in the data stored in the line objects.

I thought maybe I could tweak it using a small amount of movement to make it work on all systems, but so far my attempts have degraded shielding performance unacceptably. One bit of good news -- I tested and found out that Robocode security does not prohibit robots from reading System properties, so if I can figure out how to correct (at least partially) for the problem on other OSs or JVMs, I can test for them and just make those changes on the appropriate systems.
