Hi Peter!

Thanks for the bug report. While I have been sleeping Julian has fixed 
the problem in CVS. If you're daring you can try out the CVS version. 
I've tested it and it looked like in your PNG's.

It seems like it was one of the grey corners of Gerber that reared it's 
ugly head. This is the reason we like to release the code for public 
scrutiny to put some light on these dark corners.

For those interested in the exact cause of this, please look at Julians 
explanation attached to the (now closed) bug report on gerbv's SF site.

Thanks for your report and very good sample files.

Regards,
/Stefan
