Thanks for the info, Lee. That's quite a work around. I'm also a bit surprised that using a file directly is more reliable than using a file from within the package.
More curiously, though, is why the file size is being reported incorrectly at boot time. I wonder if it's also being reported incorrectly at other times when the system might be extra busy -- such as during an orientation change? I've been going down a different route to try to resolve the issue -- but I haven't had a chance to touch the code in a few days to finish it and see if it will even work. I'll update here if I figure anything out. Question: have you always been using PNG? The images I've been using are JPEG. Thanks for the info!
