[Therion] Problem with dots in symbols: map-connection is empty

[Martin Budaj]

Hi,

the problem is in a global "linecap := butt;" setting in the point
mudcrack symbol (added on December 6) which changes the appearance of
the line endings (the dot is a zero-length line which used to be drawn
with a round pen). A thorough revision of newly added symbols is
necessary before the next stable release.
