There is one known issue with the viewer on the Tungsten dealing with
images, but I don't think that it involves the problem you're
describing.

I've tested it out and it worked fine for me. Keep in mind that its
not the viewer itself reading png images, but the parser converting
the png into a palm bitmap format.

There is one other issue which you might be seeing,.. Some versions of
netpbm (I assume you're using that:) yeild images similar to what you
describe if you use any type of palm bitmap compression.

I've seen it myself, but couldn't figure out exactly why it was
happening. I think it was becuase of a bug in pnmtopalm when you run
it with the -rle-compression or -scanline-compression flags.

A good way to test is to run your command again, but append the -V 2
flag to increase the output. Look for any lines that say pnmtopalm.

If you're not using netpbm, then there might be a problem somewhere
else... But I don't think its with your copy of the viewer.
