The contour lines are still visible:

I did the following:

a) Use macports to install gcc 4.2
b) Create /tmp/bin and link into it gcc-mp-4.2 and g++-mp-4.2.  Set
this as my $PATH (otherwise, the system gcc is still picked up
sometimes, for some reason)

Now, matplotlib should build, but I still see many errors of the form

python(37779) malloc: *** error for object 0xa010c6d8: Non-aligned
pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

whenever I generate a plot.  Seems to work OK though.
