The PostScript program below is part of the output of a histogram
drawing program.  The Postscript just draws a line, as a series of
segments.  On our LaserWriter Plus and LaserWriter NTX printers,
some of the line segments are thicker than others, by about 50%.
As there is only one setlinewidth request, I am puzzled by
this behaviour.  Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Incidently, if you duplicate the fault, I think you will find it is
the thin segments that are correct.
