Exactly what problem are you referring to?  I can think of a couple
here, both of which are known.

You're at a UTM zone boundary, so terraserver will only give you one
side or the other as far as maps.

Again, you're at a UTM zone boundary, so if you have the map grid
displayed and you're in UTM or MGRS coordinate systems you'll see
map grid drawing bugs associated with crossing that line.

Which is it you're seeing?
