We use IDL to generate animation sequences of upto 200 frames with gif
as out-
put file format.
We discovered the same occasional sporadic error as described above.
To give you a statistic: of 100 files, ~1-3 are corrupted.
The error occurs preferebly at larger filesizes (>500 kb) and can't be
repro-
duced.
