Bug#723089: gmt: ugly and overlapping contours with gmt version 4.5.9-1

[Nikolaos Lampadariou]

Package: gmt
Version: 4.5.9-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Running a map with contour data produces an image with ugly and overlapping contours.
The problem is described in more detail with example script and produced map images at
the gmt bug tracking system (http://gmtrac.soest.hawaii.edu/issues/366#change-1310)

I will be happy to provide those scripts here. Please advice on how.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I removed gmt and compiled it myself from source and the problem disappeared


   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
