js-svg-path is very picky about this valid path

[ctrlcctrlv]

This path works and generates shapes with outline.getShapes():

Only difference is the z at the end (SVG path close). Honestly, this library is a supreme disappointment. Coupled with issue #1, it is not to spec, and it is full of strange bugs like this one. Now I have to find another library and I've wasted a few hours with this toy library...oh well...

I hope this report helps you fix some of this library's bugs, but I give up.

After trying a bunch of other libraries, I was drawn back to the simplicity of this one, and eventually thought of a workaround.

	d = $('g.eraserStroke path').attr('d')+'z';

This allows you to keep the original path the same, while fooling this library into having its closed path. It works fine for my case, but YMMV.
