I have a stroked oval, and need to cut a chunk out, so that
only a portion of the stroke is visible.

I've tried using pathfinder by putting an object in front of
the oval and hitting "subtract from shape area" but it adds
an extra line to the stroked oval, so that the entire path
connects.

Any help appreciated.
