That's not a bug.  If you read the QuickDraw manual, you will see
that FrameRect is supposed to draw a hollow outline just INSIDE the 
specified rectangle.  But the manual also explains that when using
LineTo, the pen hangs below and to the right of the pen location.
Therefore, when you draw the same rectangle using LineTo, the
pen will (on the bottom and right edges) hang OUTSIDE the rectangle.
This accounts for the difference in size you found.
