The problem was the value of dislin.chacod. This must be 'ISO1' not
the default ('STANDAR')

I used to use DISLIN some time ago, but now I use PyChart most of the
time. Its convoluted interfase (mostly due to Fortran support, I guess)
makes it rather "ugly" to use from Python. (And has a very strange
licence, btw.)
