It is most likely (99,9987127%) a problem of M.Zucchi's gif-datatype,
this is (as far as i know ..maybe there are other bugs also ?) a problem
with wrong aspect-ratios...

Your statement "every other prog..." is not true..because zgif-dt doesnt
give back right displayvalues (== monitorid)..when you for example view
very very tiny pictures on an PAL-Display with it (it opens NTSC, what
is wrong)...this happens only with the ZGif-dt no matter what viewer you 
take ....use for example viewtek, visage or anything which allows
a DT - option and watch tiny pics (smaller than 400 pixels in height)...
at least all PAL-Users should see what's the problem ?

Ok..greets
