Like I said elsewhere, the problem happens when I'm zoomed all the way
OUT so there's no chance of clipping due to overflowing Xlib.

I've seen it happen with specific zoom levels (zoomed most of the way
out) too, and with both lines and arcs.  The arcs are from the
teardrops, so the're very small.
