[Matplotlib-users] minor issue with matplotlib 0.72.1 (Mac)

[Eliot R. S. <es...@in...>]

The following test program dies when line style  'bx-' is requested
in the 4th plotset.  It works ok with 'b+-'    (so fixing this is not 
urgent...)

It worked fine with 0.71.

This is with Mac OS X, Apple Python 2.3,  Matplotlib version 0.72.1
