Default Random Map Provinces Have White Dot in Center

I just tried creating some small random maps using the command line. Everything seemed to work as expected except there was a white dot in the center of each province. What command line switch do I use to remove these center-of-province dots?

I do not have the center-of-province dot issue when using the random map generator from inside the game; just when using the command line. (I want to use the command line so I can automate the generation of about 20 maps and then pick the most appealing.)

Here is the command I was using:

dom3 --makemap test01 --riverpart 0 --seapart 25 --mountpart 30 --mapaa --mapsize 800 600 --mapprov 90 --mapnoise 15 --borderwidth 70

(Before I play a game I would use something like --mapsize 3200 2400 but that takes a long time when testing.)

I am using the linux 64-bit 3.08 version.

The single white pixel is supposed to be there. It is how dominions knows where the center of the province is. It should disappear in game, or at least it will be hidden beneath the flags.

Thanks. I wasn't looking at them in game.

Ballbarian is correct... remove the white dot and it's no longer considered a province. Removing one white dot off the map will cause most other provinces to be linked incorrectly.
