  I apologize in advance for taking up your time with this issue.  I
hope that a quick view will be sufficient for you to point me in the
right direction.  The basic problem is that the attached color graphs do
not sync the plots with the scales (sort of an interior bounding problem).

  These files view fine on our older systems using the RedHat clone
ScientificLinux 4.6 (kernel 2.6.9) with gv 3.5.8

When we upgraded to ScientificLinux5.x (kernel 2.6.18) with gv 3.6.7 we
encountered the "spill-over" effect.

The application (SuperMongo) which generated these plots yields
identical output file on the old and new systems.  It is simply the
viewer (or underlying library) which has trouble.

Thank you for reporting this bug report.

As you have noticed, it is most likely a ghostscript problem and
probably solved with the latest release. If not, feel free to report
ghostscript bugs to the ghostscript people.
