Reprojection problem

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Stephen,

I really should do that huh? :) Steve is aware of it, but yes, I'll whip
something up.  The problem is that the circusmtances under which this
happens aren't always very clear ... I guess I'll use this last example as a
base.

J.F.,

Did you write a bug up on this? I think it would worth while as this sounds
like a nasty problem to diagnose and it might not be so easy to find for the
next unsuspecting user.
