Test SVG file for script scaling.py

The 1.12.2 and 1.12.10 versions of libcairo2 introduces a rendering bug
that was not present in version 1.10.2. It is possible the bug may also
be in later versions.

The rendering problem shows up when using the rsvg utility to convert
the attached SVG file to PNG format. (See package librsvg2-bin)

TO REPRODUCE THE BUG
On my machine I am running Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 which has libcairo2-1.12.2. Save 
the attached file 'waterfall.svg.gz' and Python script 'scaling.py' into a test 
directory. Unzip the SVG file with gunzip. Make sure package librsvg2-bin is 
installed.

File: scaling.py
import subprocess
for width in range (400, 900, 100):
    print 'Converting to width:', width
    subprocess.call (['rsvg', '--width', str (width), 'waterfall.svg', 
,waterfall.%s.png' % width])

Run the script from the command line. The script outputs 5 PNG files
ranging in width from 400 to 800. The first and last PNG do not have any
problem, but the 500, 600 and 700 width files all have major artifacts.

TESTING VARIOUS LIBCAIRO2 VERSIONS
Create a subdirectory 'libs'. Into this directory extract the shared object 
'libcairo.so.2.xxxxx.x' for various versions. Select the one for testing by 
creating a link. This selects the 1.10.2 version:

    ln libs/libcairo.so.2.11000.2 libs/libcairo.so.2

set the library path as follows

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs

Run the test script again and examine the output. You will find that the
1.10.2 version produces images without any artifacts.

This bug has also been reported here with a different wording.+

The first time I uploaded it I forgot to set the content type to 'auto-

Please ignore this bad upload. I don't know how to delete it.

    polygon: Only rely on the computed boundary intersections for crossing edges
    
    If we need to extrapolate the edge to the boundary, then we run the risk
    of an overflow for an immaterial result. So if the edge does not cross
    the boundary, we can simply use the corresponding end-point and not emit
    the boundary segment.
