Ok.  I finally got to playing with that map this morning, and your
properties settings helped me to duplicate the problem.

Here's what's going on:  In the call to X11 where we are specifying
polygon fills, we must have three or more points, else there's not
a polygon to fill, only a line or a point.  For some reason this map
has been created with areas of one or two points that are resulting
in our attempting to call the polygon fill function.  The output
is just telling you that.  It doesn't affect the map drawing except
that those X11 calls will be skipped.  Anything with 3 or more points
that's a polygon draw/fill will be called normally.  Lines, points
and labels will all be drawn normally as well.

I'll try to take a look at the code to see if for DOS/Win maps we
are trying to call the polygon draw/fill functions where we
shouldn't.
