Any chance you remember what triggers this error? What code did you use,
simple drawings or more advanced
use of athens. Image patterns, gradient patterns.
Or at least, what platform mac/win/linux?

I tried different vm/image versions but only on windows so far.

There were some changes on some bitblt functions, maybe the bug does not
exist anymore?
