Yes, please post the whole linestring. I suspect that your line is a
very long one, covering a huge distance on the globe. We have fixed a
similar issue in the SVG renderer, but the VML renderer (the one that
IE uses) did not show any misbehavior with our test data. So if you
provide the whole test geometry, we can check what is wrong here.

Just some background information: issues like that occur because the
renderer needs a coodinate space, which is very large at high
resolutions (because we don't want to lose accuracy). SVG (at least in
FF) has a known limitation in significance of coordinate numbers, and
in SVG we have worked around this limitation by clipping the geometry.

Regards,
Andreas.
