I'm running SuSE 8.1 at home, but don't use the radar map as I'm on
a slow dial-up there.  Sure wish I could test it with that system
though.  Maybe I'll give it a shot some late-night soon to see if I
get similar results.

Does it do the same with the TXRadar.geo file?

I was thinking it might be a line-end problem on the Mac, but you've
now duplicated it on Linux as well, so that's probably not it.

At this point I suspect that it might be a bug in the ImageMagick
versions you're using.
