This is probably the oldest bug in pdf2swf (it's there since 2000).
For some reason, you're the first person complaining about it. ;)

Problem is that it's pretty tricky to fix because the lines/splines need
to be converted to a polygon in order to make it work correctly
independent of the line width.  I haven't gotten around to it yet-
also not sure when I'll have the time to tackle it.

But: Could you send me one of those map PDFs, so I have something to
test the fix with whenever I *do* get around to it?

Thanks,

Matthias
