Thanks for chasing this bug down.  I realize that idraw is ancient and
probably old news, but I _do_ use it frequently as I like that it
generates/reads(its own subset of) postscript.  Arrows seem to be in most
anything that I want to draw, so that was limiting its usefulness to me
significantly. :-)
