Problem compiling epix-1.0.6: samples/oscillator.eepic breaks

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@polya.uklinux.net>]

I tried compiling epix just now, but it breaks when making the samples
directory; running latex sample by hand shows why:

[...]
(./wheel.eepic) [12] [13] (./sphere.eepic) [14] (./geomsum.eepic) [15]
(./pascal.eepic) [16] (./contour.eepic) [17] (./pole.eepic) [18]
(./sqrt.eepic)
 [19] (./lissajous.eepic) (./koch.eepic) (./oscillator.eepic
! Dimension too large.
<recently read> \unitlength

l.126 \path(0,1.25)(0,57.1389)(307.389,1.25)
                                            (0,-54.6389)(0,1.25)
? 

I don't know enough yet about ePiX to understand why this has
happened.  Any ideas?
