    With some bending of the rules(?), we get a little more detail, and 117 chars 

    perl -Mconstant=Z,20 -l

map{$i=$_/Z,print map{$r=$;=$_/Z;$z=$i;$n=$z*$z,$m=$r*$r,$z=2*$r*$z+$i
+,$r=$m-$n+$;for a..z;$m<4?$":"+"}-46..Z}-19..Z

    map{$i=$_/Z,print map{$r=$;=$_/Z;$z=$i;$n=$z*$z,$z=2*$r*$z+$i,$r=($m=$
+r*$r)-$n+$;for a..z;$m<4?$":"+"}-46..Z}-19..Z

    BTW, I like the use of $; :-)

    UPDATE: Changed outside range from -20..Z to -19..Z to eliminate extra lines of +.

      But I think using the constant declaration on the outside is cheating. Hmm!

        Not cheating, but you have to count it as part of the solution, which puts it back at 134-ish.

    That use of $; is very clever, as it parses correctly and allows you to omit the brackets for the for. Combining this with other modifications yields 122 chars of obfuscated goodness:
    print map{$i=$_/20;$/,map{$r=$;=$_/20;$z=$i;$n=$z*$z,$z=2*$r*$z+$i,$r=($m=$r*$r)-$n+$;for a..z;$m<4?$":"+"}-46..13}-20..19
    Further savings if you choose 'X' instead of '+':
    print map{$i=$_/20;$/,map{$r=$;=$_/20;$z=$i;$n=$z*$z,$z=2*$r*$z+$i,$r=($m=$r*$r)-$n+$;for a..z;$m<4?$":X}-46..13}-20..19
    Here is the original C code, just for comparison, at 182 characters: 
    void main(){double O,x,o,I,l,i;char _;for(l=-1;l<1;l+=.05,putc
;i<.7;i+=.05,putchar(_?'?':':'),O=i,x=l,o=I=(_=1)--)for(;++_&&
);x=2*O*x+l,O=o-I+i);}

    C allows for shorter variable names, and Perl still comes out ahead. Crazy.

      The only catch appears to be that, when I actually run this, it doesn't work. Of course, I could well be going mad.
