i have seen this as well in 1.8 and in cvs, usually around very light 
coloured or white areas, such as with movie studio logos at the 
beginning of a movie.  1.6.0-beta2 worked fine for me.  i am running 
gentoo linux with a gcc-4.1.1 compiler but i have compiled 1.8 and later 
with gcc-3.4.6 and the artifacts persist.  i am available for any 
testing that i can offer but i am not subscribed to the list.
