The detailed API for the <drawPolyline()> method of the <Graphics>
class says, "The figure is not closed if the first point differs from
the last point."  So the following program should result in two line
segments being drawn, one from (100,100) to (100,800) and another from
(100,800) to (800,800).  However when I execute the program I get the
triangle that would be created by closing the polyline.  Isn't that a
bug?

FYI, when I type in "java -version" I get 1.4.2.
