+I talked to Carl today and he showed me where to find out how to
+translate from the elliptical circle specification of GDI+ to the
+center+radius specification used by Cairo (it's in the appendix of the
+SVG spec).
+
+I'm going to try to take away make_pie and make_arc from graphics.c
+and replace them with cairo_arc calls instead.
+
+No only will it fix this crash, we'll also get nicer outputs, because
+the current technique used by make_arc (using a midpoint, which leads
+to an approximation of at most 3 bezier curves) is kinda lame and
+cairo_arc will do a much better job at it.
