I have encountered this issue running Freesurfer 5.1.0 on both a Mac Pro 
running Mac OS 10.6.8 as well as a Dell PC running Freesurfer using the Ubuntu 
virtual machine package provided for Windows (OS was Windows XP).

I'm going to attempt run the command exactly as you wrote it in the e-mail to 
Alex and then view it in freeview to see if anything has changed.

Thanks,
  Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I just tried this and it worked fine for me. If you tell me what
os/hardware you are running on I'll send you a current binary and you can
see if that works.

cheers
Bruce

p.s. do you look at the surfaces via:

freeview -f lh.white lh.white.expanded
