Hmm. I cannot confirm on Fedora 15 x86_64 or Ubuntu 11.04 i686. I've
got a P3 800Mhz under my bed that (IIRC) has Linux on it, so I might haul
that out and play with it later. But I don't think the architecture
is to blame.

Thanks. The PNG error is a single-pixel offset, and I don't think it's
anything to worry about. The gerbers are bad.

I'd like to say this is deliberate ;) to test pcb's behaviour when
given anomalies.
