Justa quickie...Roadkill hasnt been updated for a while has it???..didnt the guy stop doing it...maybe its a clash in maya, I dont know...A few of my guys had issues a while back because it wasnt working either...
I just checked his page at pullingshapes website and well Im not convinced its been done properly
https://www.pullin-shapes.co.uk/page8.htm
Again my emphasis on knowing fundamentals....I think I covered that in my tute, but I wont go into that.
Im sure these guys will help you and way...Mr Fister is a budding roadkill user...

Everything is simply working off of the Maya API. So to say it hasn't been kept after is pointless since the 32 to 64 bit switch. Once that went through it is simply executing tasks that are built into Maya natively. All subsequent releases are using the same architecture. The actual script for Roadkill if you ignore the export and import procedures is only 150 lines long. 50 of that being the GUI. It uses basic calls and generally speaking I am not exactly sure how you can make them better. The only possible way would be to store the UV's instead of flushing it. But then that creates the issue of possibly having multiple UV sets which will cause confusion or not export at all depending on if you are using game engines. You could change the code to reflect a ! command and execute an else statement that just flushes the UV's on undo.
I keep rambling. Time to get back to work.

Try the auto unwrap from bonustools for now maybe as Daverave mentioned if you are having issues, it does exactly the same thing..and you get a gui as well..just a thought
Goggles are you using Linux or Windows at work???

I couldn't find an older version on internet. Btw i am working on maya 2013 , with no service pack installed.
About the test; it seems like no matter what your selection is while using new version, it just cuts the obj the same way. You get the same result...
results ;
