Minimum length of field lines
If no special care is taken, grids can contain field lines, that are only on a single y-slice.
Refining the grid in y does in general not help, the best solution is probably to exclude such cases in zoidberg.
Otherwise the boundary condition code can only rely on a single point, thus strongly limiting what extrapolations can be done.
A minimum field line length is probably the best solution, but one could also check that a few extra guard cells wouldn't catch the field line.
