problem with the path tool

Hey again!

I just went completely round a face to cut it out with the path tool. The
problem is that I seem to have messed up somewhere because I have a line
(part of the path) that goes straight through the face and back again. If
I have 100 nodes for example, there is a jump from 60 to 100 and then the
nodes are followed "backwards" over 99, 98, 97 etc. to 61. And then there
is a gap.

I'm not sure if I actually did that (which I couldn't really explain since
node 60 and 100 are nowhere near each other) or if this happened when I
clicked "Selection from Path", which of course was the ultimate goal.

One solution would be to remove all the nodes from 100 to 61 and retrace
everything. This however is a lot of work (which wouldn't be a problem
though) and if this was some mistake that happened when I converted the
path into a selection, it would probably happen again. NOTE: I closed the
path as well as I could by dragging the last node over the first one.

I did notice that there are some "holes" in the path, meaning that there
is no line (path) between two nodes that *should* be connected (because
that is what I wanted and because they are directly beside one another). I
can imagine me messing up somewhere along the way but the two nodes that
seem to come after each-other are so far apart that I find is hard to
believe. I certainly didn't jump from the chin to the top of the head when
setting the nodes.

It seems that for some reason I created several components for this path.
This is the reason for the "hole" or rather, the gap in the path.

Is there some way to reattach the path and thus making the Gimp follow the
nodes the way I wanted to? Can two seperate components be reunited?

Regards,
Chris
