Thanks for the test case.  I briefly glanced at the code yesterday, and it's 
structured as if it expects subimages to work in the DPX code.  So it's 
probably just a bug, not a case of it being written without considering 
subimages at all and needs a total rewrite.  I'll try to take a quick look and 
see if it's something obvious, I'll let you know what I find.
