Well, why should *we* solve it ? :-)
It's *your* program, so...

This bug could be rather simple, though.
You could do a --debugmsg +relay,+gdi logfile and check for e.g. LineTo().
(PCAD perhaps uses LineTo to draw traces).
LineTo() probably determines the line width from the device context (DC)
it currently uses.
Find out where and why the corresponding device context catches the wrong
line width.
(also by reading some docu e.g. at http://search.microsoft.com)

Good luck !
