I ran this function on a cairo_image_surface() of size 1300x600 using 
cairo-1.6.4 and cairo-1.8.8 on Linux but couldn't replicate the bug 
Both times the result was a nice green dashed rectangle.  What version 
of cairo are you using?  If your cairo is older than 1.8.8 would you 
mind trying with the latest stable release?

Yikes.  Looks bad. :|

Unfortunately I can't run this app as I'm not near a windows box.  I 
scanned through the win32 surface implementation and it looks like it 
relies on the generic cairo stroker, so the result ought to be 
identical using an image surface and a win32 surface -- in theory.
Could you check if the bug appears using the following program?

int
main()
{
        cairo_surface_t *im = cairo_image_surface_create(
                CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32,
                1300, 600);
        cairo_t *cr = cairo_create(im);

        cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 1,1,1);
        cairo_paint(cr);

        TestBug(cr);

        cairo_surface_write_to_png(im, "out-dash-bug.png");
        cairo_surface_destroy(im);
        cairo_destroy(cr);
        return 0;
}

Cheers,
