Problem:
Hello,

I started dotty.exe, then I tried to load the graph "graph3.dot" (file present in the attached zip file). After two abortions of dot.exe, dotty.exe shows several error messages: 


1) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: dotty.lefty:
2) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: giving up on dot
3) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: dotty.lefty:
4) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: graph that causes dot
5) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: dotty.lefty:
6) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: to fail has been saved in file dottybug.dot
7) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: dotty.lefty:
8) Title: Lefty printf
   Text: Please fill out a bug report at http: ...

I don't know where the problem is. But I can say that I called "dot -Tgif c:graph3.dot -o c:dottest3.gif" and the execution was successfully done. No abortion, no problems with the gif.

The same problems were found on the version 1.8.6 tested by a friend with the same OS.
Input file: b164.dot
Output file: b164a.dot
Comments:
[erg] Unfortunately, I had no trouble loading the graph into dotty under 1.8.6 on windows.
