I doubt it's random. I imagine it has to do with precise numerical
conditions as you scale and/or translate, etc.

Sure. But there are likely precise numerical conditions that trigger
the bug. If you use cairo-trace as I pointed to in the the previous
bug, it will stream all the values out and you can grab some sequence
corresponding to the buggy behavior.

That would be extremely valuable to us. (Otherwise, we've never seen
this behavior and have nothing to go on as far as debugging it.)

Thanks,
