I experienced a similar problem here with a .gif file showing a girl's
head as a photograph in the upper left corner and a logo 'grafx' at the
lower right. Using Vgif the picture displayed correctly, but with
Fastgif it was hardly recognizable.
None of the 10 other .gif files I have on my harddisk showed a similar
amount of deviation.

Any ideas?
