Thread: fake lines in conversion with sgftops

A bug was found in sgftops.c just after v101.4 was sent out. Itt caused
-- on rare occasions -- the error you report. The fix is moving one line.

The correct bversion will be included in 101.5, coming out very soon.

dear All,
we recently moved to ubuntu 64bit our computer used for running some complex
sac macros that generate figures by first creating .sgf file and then
converting it to ps by using sgftops. sac version is 101.4 linux64.
We now observe unrequested straight lines (see attachment) that from some
points in one of the boxes reach the lower left corner.
The problem is not observed when plots are sent to screen by using bg X
instead of bg sgf.
sgf files are normally 2-3Mbyte large.

Any suggestion?

thanks
Marco
