Drawing vertical polygons show as black if drawn clockwise

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Open the attached clockwise_bug.kml, view on google earth.

The curtain on 40th latitude has three blue, polygons. The middle one is drawn 
clockwise and is colored differently.

Tested on GE version 7.1.1.1888 on Windows XP and Windows 7. Also reproduces on 
Mac, version unknown.

Look at http://webapps.datafed.net/Datasets/curtain_demo.kmz

This curtain example shows well with Windows, but net well at all with Mac GE 
version 7.1.1.x. in a mac. Many polygons are black.

On a related note, this is data visualization, not a realistic model. The 
north-south curtain across west states is dark on the east side, brighter on 
the west. I'd like it to use just the same color rendering as GE does on the 
map. Is there a way to turn off these lighting effects?

Actually curtains on a Mac with GE version 7.0.3.8542 renders the curtains just 
like the Windows version. I put a question about the lighting effects to
