If I only have G61.1 in the ini file, the sim shows a significantly curved
path.  Putting G61.1 in the gcode file will trace the path as expected.

I only tried it in a sim version.  I wasn't game to run it on the real
machine while it was drawing curved paths.  The particular path I noticed it
on was retracting the parting tool from a deep groove.  Watching it go
sideways through the part was a bit upsetting.
