Description
#9104 fixed the crash reported in #9073 with
```
gmt coast -Vd -R6.97229795181/-37.0769712136/278.20744191/7.44518494882r -JE103.989333/1.359211/17.7c -Glightgrey -pdf t
```
But that fix was just a patch that avoids the problem and doesn't solve its root, which is: why `lat1` is NaN.
There is also another malfunctioning with the land shading with disparate reports from different OSs.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the reproduction command in this issue and compare the workaround in #9104 with the original report in #9073. Trace why lat1 becomes NaN and investigate the inconsistent land shading across operating systems; done means the root cause is addressed rather than only avoided, with land shading behaving consistently.
