Now committed.

Yes, that was the ticket to narrow it down. I've only just got chance to
look at it in detail anyway. The problem was that the DRC window doesn't
set up a clipping region before drawing. I've added add a simple test
allowing a NULL region to be passed to a polygon routine, and will
investigate setting up a proper clipping region to help speed up
drawing. (I'm fairly surprised it wasn't doing that already).

Thanks for the help debugging the issue.

Best regards,
