Hi Guys,

I'm testing Mapnik 0.6.0 & 0.5.1 (on Windows platform) and came across a
very strange scenario. I have noticed Mapnik sometimes cuts / slashes styled
road edges (styled lines in my case) around the tile corners i.e. roads
finish abruptly. I know there have been some problems with missing
labels,symbols,etc but I cannot find anything on missing / cut styled edges.
Is there a fix / workaround for this problem?

I have attached a png image highlighting the problem (with vector data shown
on top of created rasters)  and the python script used to generate tiles.
The original shp file used to create samples has been uploaded since 700kb
exceeds max allowed limit here, download link given below.

I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks
