Rob,
  You were trying to convert a picture that was only 200 scan lines tall.The
convert program defaults to 400 lines. It will trash every other line to
pack 400 lines into 200. This also causes the last line in the real image
to be repeated for half of the screen.

  Try running tmp2gif with the '-2' command line option. That should fix
it!
