(Um. So what device were you using?)

That example is given by sm.script(air_cont).  The solid contour is not
quite closed on all platforms I tried, but the other two are. That includes
rw1001 on NT.  The solid contour is also not closed on the S-PLUS original.

Either you have not followed the script exactly or there is problem
specific to your graphics card / printer / ....

Please do read the section on reporting bugs in the FAQ.  Without exact
instructions for what you did there is no way we could reproduce this.

Potential bugs in add-on packages are best reported to the authors/porters,
not all of whom read R-help.
