Generally, problems with images can be traced to the image data
not being in Chip ram. With the Lattice 5.0 compiler you can 
declare them as 
chip	short	ImageData[] = { .. };

And that will insure that they are placed in Chip RAM when loaded. 
This has the benefit of not placing *all* your data into Chip ram
which is what the -cD switch does. The other problem with images
is displaying them in X plane screens when your image is Y planes
deep. You can avoid suprises by providing all of the image planes
although the PlaneOnOff feature is pretty neat (if somewhat limited).

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
