Thanks - that looks exactly what I have going on.
Now I wonder if I should replace the camera - but
not *ALL* K7's have this problem - right?
I checked a number of exposures from mine yesterday and found nothing.
But then again ambient temperature

Glad to hear it. Always nice to deal with BH.

Paul - BH really came through on this. I called, got an RMA, they will
exchange the camera. It took all of 2 minutes on the phone to explain the
problem and get things set up.
They are a quality outfit.

Thanks, Paul. That's what I was wondering about - looks like it is not a
fault in all K7's, just some. this one will definitely be going back
FWIW, my first shoot with my K7 was over 1600 shots
I agree that's extremely annoying.

Some people are being diligent in checking EXIF before/after the green
line appearing and the sensor temp cut-off seems to be 35 C.
For what it's worth.

Mark,
IIRC, someone had a blogpost somewhere about K20D having a systemic
fault that popped up in the same area for all affected cameras. In
case this is another one of those, would you mind describing where the
band occur in your images?
I'll check mine as soon as I get back from office. Thanks
Sorry to hear that Mark.
The firmware update coming very very soon may help. I hope so.

If you can get the store you bought it from to take it back, you should
be able to get an exchange. Otherwise it's warranty repair time.

That's not good. Hopefully it will resolve quickly.
I should say I do hope that whatever I get (on special order as they
said yesterday) will not have such problems as it might not be an easy
task to get them to fix it here, where I live.

Did you happen to run the Pixel Mapping procedure?
Not that I think in your case that it will repair your problem, but it
will try to correct bad pixels.
In your case I think it might be a bad connection between the sensor
and it's sub-ass'y.
