Attached is the script that generates the contour plot I'm interested
in.  A PNG cropped from the PS onscreen is at

It's small, but the line should be clearly visible.

Could be -- maybe an interpolation effect?  Odd thing is that the
lines are differently coloured.  In fact, I can get *only* the lines
to render by commenting out certain lines in contour.py.

I see contour lines, as shown here:

They are here:

I don't want to waste your time further with this problem, so if you
think the above png's look fine then I'll just use my workaround.  It
might be a problem very specific to my setup.

Thanks for your time,
