Bug Description

- Windows XP, Inkscape 0.91+devel r13954 (Feb 28 2015)
- load the file envelope_deform.svg which contains a path with 3 nodes and an Envelope Deformation LPE
- note that it contains some apparent discontinuities or jagged segments
- select the node tool F2, hover over the path until you see the red path flicker temporarily.
- click on the path and select the left-most node which is off the page at (-84,214)
- slowly drag the left-most node up and down, to see that most of the response to this dragging is very smooth and predictable except in this one very localized area where it is pathological.

- reproduced on Inkscape 0.91

Based on tests with archived builds on OS X 10.7.5:
- not reproduced with rev <= 12920,
- reproduced with rev >= 12921;
this regression seems related to the update of 2geom in r12921

fix committed to rev 14005.

The fix involves the 2geom function sbasis_to_cubic_bezier, so it will have to be committed separately to 2geom as well. I thought I'd commit it here first to allow testing and then commit it to 2geom after a few days or so.
