Thats really strange, Sean. I don't have the problem you're describing at
all. My flat maps are A-OK. But I have problems that others apparently
don't and others are having problems that probably you nor I have. It's
almost like we all are working with different versions of the software.
This gives a different meaning to the word "unstable". Personally I
find Imagine VERY unpredicable.    
	The only thing I can suggest re: flat mapping , is to make sure
your brush axis is not flush with the surface of the flat object. This
will often give that "digital bounce" I'm sure you've heard of before.
Other than that (and I suspect you already were aware of that) I can't
imagine what's causing the problem.
