On the PCB (P99SE) all my arcs look great, even on the print preview.
But in the Gerber files some, not all, are wrong: the start and end in the right places, but go the wrong way around. So a 90 degree turn ends up as a 270 degree turn with another center and shorts stuff......

It happened once before, but the fab house detected and reported that error so they could correct it in time. Like now, I could not identify the source of the problem and have no clue whatsoever....

I checked the PCB at ASCII level but could not find any indications what went wrong (a 'good' one looks exactly the same as a 'wrong' one). I even generated the Gerbers from that copy: no luck. Inside the Gerbers I am at a loss: I cannot identify arcs, let alone the right and wrong ones.

Has anyone seen this before and found a solution or workaround?
Checking the 'software arcs' box is not an option: that messes up the already tight clearances (had a close shave with that one, too).....
