Hi Rafael, find attached two figures; the first one contains the bugs that I have fixed, the second one is a remaining bug (xfig would parse the .fig without complaining though on writing the it would silently correct the `error' - I think XFig.pm should behave the same).
Sorry for not using the bug tracker, next time I'll definitely `reportbug'...
