Size of dots in VECTOR plot is inherited from a previous PLOT/SYMBOL/SIZE . . . command

This is a minor issue because there are nice workarounds, but I thought it's better recorded here. As described in this email thread

https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2019/msg01164.html

the symbol size set in PLOT is inherited by the dots in a subsequent VECTOR overlay. As a result, you get huge dots for small vectors:

plot/symbol/size=1/ . . .
vector/ov . . .

This is fixed in ppl/plot/vecfld.F. The size of the "Plot mark" needed to be restored to its default value
