That file has some very big numbers for some of the points in the
beziergons (hint: search for e+ in the gunziped version).
I wonder if it is possible to create a file with those big numbers with
current dia?

These have been good reports. There is nothing wrong with sending
bug reports to the list (in fact, it is a good idea). Putting them
in bugzilla as well makes sure that the report doesn't get lost.
One other thing: given that anoncvs mirrors are often not quite up to
date, rather than the date you checked it out, give the date of the last
ChangeLog message.

Martin put together a mail interface to bugzilla. I think you can get
some info by sending a message with help in the body to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The debbugs compatibility gateway
[EMAIL PROTECTED] may still be working as well.
