What an excellent example of Swiss Cheese! There was a bug in the layer 
group loop macro using the PCB group settings instead of the one in the 
file loading.

It took a very long time to insert the thousands of holes into the 
polygons thousands of times, especially since the containing contours 
got to the point of having about 15,000 verticies!  I've got it 
considerably optimized now, but it will probably still take a minute to 
load the first time. I recommend that you select all and morph the 
polygons, then re-save the design. It will load faster after that.

It does a nice job of showing all of the floating polygon islands when 
you do a find connections on the ground net.

Fixes are in. Grab the latest CVS and give it a go.
