The files from 'good' projects appear identical to those from 'bad' ones
(apart from the actual data, that is).
Even worse, my gerbv script produces both back and front assembly views
and it is only the back view that produce the error (and only on some
projects), although the 'fab.gbr' layer is processed for both back &
front views.
This is confusing me a bit.
Here is my gerbv script source (sorry if it's a bit long), the component
side bit seems always to work, the solder side gives the problem on some
files only:

if (argc != 2) // Right No. of args ?
{
printf("Usage: %s <path to project>\n", argv[0]);
return(1);
}
if (chdir(argv[1]) != 0) // Change to working
directory ok ?
{
printf("%s: No such path!\n", argv[1]);
return(1);
}
gerbv_project_t *mainProject;
GdkColor whiteColor = {0, 65000, 65000, 65000}; //

GdkColor greyColor = {0, 50000, 50000, 50000};
GdkColor blueColor = {0, 0, 0, 65000};
GdkColor goldColor = {0, 50000, 50000, 0};
