Summary:                    PNG backend: dot files from scfdot converted to png
contain extraneous line
Description: 
When i feed .dot files generated by scfdot to dot with -Tpng, the resulting
.png files contain an extra line at the top which makes the png unreadable
by image viewers. Deleting this line fixes the issue. Is this a bug in dot,
scfdot, or the png backend?

$ dot -V
dot - graphviz version 2.26.3 (20100126.1600)

# pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -Ni scfdot
...

$ dot -Tpng -o test.png /opt/csw/share/doc/scfdot/examples/snv_24_x86.dot
$ file test.png
test.png:       data
$ head -1 test.png
-36 2444.2 translate newpath user_shape_0
$ gsed -i -e '1d' test.png
$ file test.png
test.png:       PNG image data

Simple graphs don't expose this problem.

$ echo "digraph G {Hello->World}" | dot -Tpng >hello.png
$ file hello.png
hello.png:      PNG image data

Thanks for the feedback John! Just learned about using dot two days ago and
honestly, I don't know how I could have survived without it so far! Sifting
through Solaris SMF or Solaris Cluster dependencies has become a breeze. A
very big thank you for packaging dot for Solaris.
