in 1.9 we tried to get files like that to work and found that if we did that it will not work on other files! Comp is a nasty problem and sorry that you had to see the problem

Okay I know this is not what you would like to hear BUT....

The problem is that your file is not able to be comped. The problem is that the line segments are to short... 
Here is a section out of your file:

X-0.1378 Y-0.9791
X-0.1366 Y-1.0146
X-0.1351 Y-1.0518
X-0.1335 Y-1.0902
X-0.1317 Y-1.1297
X-0.1297 Y-1.1698
X-0.1275 Y-1.2102

As you can see there is not much distance from move to move... The calcs for comp need to have line and arc segments that are longer then the length of the Rad of the tool. If this is not true mach3 has to skip lines and arcs! This can't be done because we can only see three moves at a time.

So you need to do this in CAM program (Fanuc would not do it as well)

Could you please update your machine to Mach3. It is getting hard to trouble shoot mach2 at this time for problems like that.

You can have mach2 and 3 on the same machine with no trouble

Thanks
