 output?

Hello,

Please can anyone suggest how and why the red pin name lettering is 
escaping onto top & bottom copper layers, when exporting to gerber?

I found that the lettering was causing shorts between pads and ground 
plane, luckily before we made too many boards!

System here is Ubuntu 12.04, pcb version 20110918.

Many thanks.

Matt
