magic/sun 3 users:

I recently brought up magic on several sun 3's without a great deal of
trouble, using the Bkly 1986 VLSI tape.  Magic works fine, except some of the
mask levels look bad, specifically all hatched masks and faded masks.
In addition to the mask color and pattern, these masks are, for want of a
better word, striped, i.e. for one rectangle, there occur large blank areas
where paint exists, but where it does not show at all.  I haven't tried
to find this in the code (I've never written sun code) but we find it
very objectionable and I was wondering if anyone out there had fixed it.
If you have, I'd appreciate a fix.

thanks,
