I can't reproduce this problem using the code snippet you gave using 
cairo-1.6.4 or the current development cairo, when running on Debian 
testing.  For concreteness, I ran the program at 
http://pastey.net/108202 as "./big-fill 35e6 35e6", "./big-fill 40e6 
40e6" and got a totally red output out-big-fill.png both times.

It's not expected behaviour. :)  If you could test with the latest 
stable release cairo 1.8.6 and find it still doesn't work for you, 
it'd be best to file a bug with specifics and a test case at
