Failed to initialze circle __ error 0,0,0,-1

I've produced a curve using a spline in Solidworks and used SolidCam to machine the profile.
When machining the spline i noticed that that the machine "jerked" along the path; I use LinuxCNC
Looking at the gcode i noticed that inbetween arcs of large radii aroud 1000mm the code had very short segments of radii of 10mm or so.
I presumed the jerkiness was down to decellerations and accelerations to deal with these short radii.
The splines are longer than the distance between the jerks and therefore doesn't seem to be a funcrion of the spline generation.
Attached is a copy of the model and the code generated. Don't seem to be able to upload the Solidworks file - help!
I could live with that but i sometimes get a message on LinuxCNC, "Failed to genereate circle __ error code 0,0,0,-1" which stops the machining.
Sometimes i play around with offsets and it works OK; but not always.
SolidCam simulates it OK but LinuxCNC won't drive the path.
I'm going to post the problem on a CNCzone forum as the problem may reside there but i'm intereted in why Linux won't drive the path .
I'don't understand why it doesn't just transit from onr large radius to another; as in some cases it does.
I read somewhere that G64 might help but i haven't trie this yet.

There are a few things to try. Extend precision to 4 decimal places. My favourites are the more accurate center format arcs.
Path blending will help for shure

Introduced G64 P.2 and all works well. Jerkiness disappeared as well.
Thanks for your help.
