[Gmsh] Body of revolution with BSplines

[julien hoessler]

Hi Patrick,
You get a lot of errors when meshing your test02. Could it be because  
you are using a single BSpline? The surface of revolution would be a  
curved surface based on only two edges when 3 at least are needed if  
I'm not mistaken. Attached is a modified version of your test02 with  
the BSpline split into two that works fine
Regards
Julien
