  Lines drawn to a POSTSCRIPT-STREAM using :LINE-UNIT :POINT result in
  erroneous PostScript (see below).

Hello Simon,

The problem appears to be a bug in how the postcript port handles the
:LINE-UNIT option. It is erroneously expecting :LINE-UNIT to be one of
:NORMAL and :POINTS (pluaral) and if it is neither it is falling
through a case giving NIL as the line width to setlinewidth

A simple workaround is to give a :LINE-UNIT of :POINTS rather than
:POINT though I can understand that this is not very satisfactory if
you want to use the same drawing function for both screen output and
postcript output.

If this is the case then please let me know and I will make up a patch
for this.
