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

[Nikolaos Lampadariou]

Dear Maintainer,

I am not sure if anyone has tried to replicate this problem, but the 
people over the gmt bug-tracking system, where I initially submitted 
this problem, suggest that this could be a a problem during compiling. 
They also say that they could try to look into this if the knew the 
compiler settings so as to try to replicate the problem.

Please have look at http://gmtrac.soest.hawaii.edu/issues/366#change-1310

I hope this might be of some help.

Regards

NL
