I have been playing with scribble and serialize/deserialize a bit lately in a (somewhat successful) attempt to make my paper build in a reasonable amount of time.
Anyway, I noticed some interesting behavior when Scribble is combined with
picts and serialize/deserialize. And I'm kind of stumped as to what could
cause it.
Take the following file:
```
#lang scribble/manual
@(require pict
racket/serialize)
@(define x
(vc-append
(filled-rectangle 30 10 #:color "yellow")
(filled-rectangle 30 10 #:color "yellow")))
@x
@(deserialize (serialize x))
```
This code defines a pict made out of two yellow rectangles stacked on top
of each other. It makes a document containing these two rectangles,
followed by the two rectangles after they've been serialized and
deserialized. Provided that `x` is serializable (which it supposedly is), I
would imagine that the two pictures would look the same. Instead however,
it ends up looking like this. (The PDF file is also attached).

Note how after its been serialized and deserialized, the two rectangles,
appear slightly further apart and have a doubly thick line.
For what its worth, if I have DrRacket draw the pict it always shows up
like the bottom rectangle.
Both of these images make sense (depending on how we intemperate border),
but I'm a bit confused why it would show up differently after being
serialized and deserialized. Any ideas?
Thank you.
