Hey Fernando,

The good news is that matplotlib legends really do not look that big
and stupid -- this is a CVS bug (0.71 works), eg
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html#legend_demo

The bad news is I don't know how and where the error crept in. I'll
do some digging.

Thanks for letting me know!
