[pstricks] Slender structures. Dimension too large.

We engineers say that a pipline is a slender structure when its width
is much smaller than its length.
The particular pipeline that I now deal with has a typical width of 0.05
m and a length of 5000m. It is a complicated structure built from tubes,
plastic profiles and electric cables. A preprocessor generates strength
of materials information (dimensions, entire geometry, ...) automatically.
Graphics is produced by means of PSTricks in normally a wonderful manner
by a batch system. It produce a large number of graphs, which generally
are zooms of various sections of the line. The batch environment is
effective.
However, the latest line has an extreme slenderness and the PSTricks
system now gives me the error 'Dimension too large'.
I have included a simplification below in order to make my point clear.
If you remove the two comments, then the error appears.
Could the error have been avoided in some other way than by means of
hand-editing?
