Re: idraw 1.2.6 files sometimes make ghostscript fail possibly due to a buggy non-visible element

In the idraw file with a problem you have a multi-line and a polygon  
grouped together, both of zero length.  I found them by importing the  
file into comdraw and using its scripting commands to select and  
inspect them.   Not sure how these got created.  Perhaps you can  
document this problem at http://sf.net.projects/ivtools?
