It works flawlessly for PDF, image and SVG backends.

The cairo commands are called by a graph generator, so I could not
reduce the problem to a set of simple commands (and the source is in
Common Lisp).  But I generated a PDF, a PS and an SVG file which are
attached.  PS files which contain simple things (like some text, or a
rectangle painted some color) render flawlessly in GV.

Any help would be appreciated.  I am using the 1.4.14-1 version of the
libcairo2 Debian package.
