This paper is dedicated to R.S.Cantrell on the occasion of his 60th birthday, for his pioneering work on the effects of spatial heterogeneities on nonlinear differential equations. With our friendship and best wishes for the future

In [12], the structure of the set of possible solutions of a degenerate boundary value problem was studied. For solutions with one interior zero, there were two possibilities for the solution set. In this paper, numerical examples are given showing each of these possibilities can occur.

Keywords: Degenerate boundary value problems, components of one node solutions.
