When hitting "Reload", gitk can error out, complaining
about "wrong # coordinates: expected 0 or 4, got 2".
This patch checks that there are 4 coordinates to avoid this
error:

wrong # coordinates: expected 0 or 4, got 2
wrong # coordinates: expected 0 or 4, got 2
    while executing

I don't know if this patch is the right fix, so here is a script
that triggers this error:

--->8---
#!/bin/sh

rm -rf .git
git init
touch initial
git add initial
git commit initial -m "initial"

git checkout -b m-master

sleep 1
touch one
git add one
git commit one -m "one"
sleep 1
touch two
git add two
git commit two -m "two"
sleep 1
touch three
git add three
git commit three -m "three"

sleep 1
echo "Now reorder the commits as:"
echo "pick three"
echo "pick one"
echo "pick two"
read
git rebase -i master

git checkout -b m-reload master

sleep 1
touch four
git add four
git commit four -m "four"
sleep 1
touch five
git add five
git commit five -m "five"

git checkout m-master

gitk --all
# within gitk, reload: it should give an error.
# if it does not error out, checkout another branch and try
# to reload again.

Many thanks for finding a way to trigger this bug reliably.  I have
been chasing it for a while but haven't been able to trigger it
repeatably before this.  The actual bug was that I wasn't unsetting
line[hnd]tag when clearing the canvases.  I have checked in a fix.

Paul.
