Subject: ps.map: placement by map percentage is off

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs20050830

Using the the below ps.map instruction set (trying to mirror the legend created in d.vect.thematic), I get a weird result as can be seen in http://moritz.homelinux.org/misc/leg.ps.

When using pstoedit to transform the file into skencil format, it becomes obvious that the placement by percentage seems to have some sort of cumulative effect:

"Value range", "Mapped by ...", and "Color" (and to a certain extent the rectangle) all should start at exactly the same x-value. If you look into the ps-file they actually seem to have the same x-coordinate...
