Below is a macro. This lines are very faint and rather pink than red.
It is hard to see them. To see them you would have to zoom in ghostview.
I asked my coworkers for the second opinion and also magnifying lens.
These shadowy lines appear best after inserting eps files into a latex
paper and viewing them with ghostview. I have a 4 page paper and all eps
figure seem to show this strange behaviour. I am not quite sure how well
you can reproduce this problem with the attached macro.
