[mgp-users 01243] Re: Rendering bugs in 1.10a

I found a bug and fixed it. But I realized that it has nothing to 
with your problem after I got full information of your mgp script.

The reason that you have smaller gaps for the line: "SPUG .." is you 
put "%vgap 20" before the line. If you relace it with "%vgap 75",
or remove it and set vgap 75 in default 3, you will get same result
as 1.09a.
