Ah! Now I understand. I tried to understand what your code does, i.e. what
it expected, but I just didn't get it. I'm not yet used to the intricate
things you can do in Python. The hotspots are obviously not needed by
any graphics viewer (such as 'xv'), so we never saw anything wrong with
the images. 

Thanks again, Pete!

I could have a look at it, as it's plain Python and easily tested.
