[Rd] PR$7706, png device plot on athlon 64 processor

[Duncan Murdoch]

A later bug report (#7860) had to do with inappropriate sizing of the 
first text drawn on a png() device, and I've now fixed the bug that 
caused that.  Could you please check whether you still see your bug on 
today's build?  It will be available on CRAN tomorrow (May 15), in

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html

Thanks!
