#1438 extremely long, fat lines not displayed

[Don Porter]

Tk user reports:

> extremely long
> lines still don't render if their width is bigger
than 1. For example:
>
> canvas .c -width 100 -height 100 -bg white
> pack .c
> set xbig [expr {pow(2,31)-3}]
> .c create line 0 30 $xbig 30 -fill red -width 1
> .c create line 0 50 $xbig 50 -fill blue -width 2
>
> The second line isn't visible.

Problem exists in both 8.4.2 and 8.4.1 on Win2K,
and in 8.3.4 on Linux/Alpha.
