I believe the 3.0.4 rc5 tarball came from revision 7e472cf19d4a in  
the 3-0-x repository.  Since then there have been two patches

        http://hg.tw-math.de/release-3-0-x/rev/489d0ba75c42 to graphics.cc
        http://hg.tw-math.de/release-3-0-x/rev/e1779a6d4b7a to legends.m

in addition to the reversion of clf.m I posted to the list.  I did my  
testing with all three changes.

Cheers,
Rob
