The last time I looked into that image I saw there is a bug in the image :))
The last character is #0 (null) instead of ';' (as it should be according to
the GIF specification). The ; means an end of the file for gif readers.
Therefore some of them may have problems to read this file correctly if
it is incorrect.
But as I said it was about a year ago, maybe its something different
you are talking about :))
