Sorry I missed your post... I was actually trying to fix that yesterday night.
It looks that the main culprit is the normal statement, though I first thought,
like Bob H, that it was a transmit/filter problem).
The normal uses the cells pattern, which has been fixed in several ways for this
release. As the doc says that cells is not suitable for normal anyway, I just
dropped it and it works fine. If anyone has a good replacement for a hull plate
normal, it could be interesting.

Looks like I really have to investigate the text distortion problem, BTW.
