Well I did the profiling for my camera and it's currently this one that is
used in the code (git master). I took great care in doing this correctly, I
did 4 profiles and averaged the results.

Here is the raw file from the previous example if you want to test:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iqb04gly913vmfx/20130429_0041.ARW

The problem for me is not only the green pixels but also the bigger
cross-shaped blue and red dots. Isn't that somehow related to the
demosaicing process?

Thank you for helping with that.
