Did you change the size before or after applying the image

It's not a bug.

Please assume that img1.gif is 100*500 pixels.

box {
 <0,0,0>,<1,5,0.01>  // box starts with correct ratio
 pigment {
  image_map {
    gif "img1.gif"
  }
  scale <1,5,1>  // scaling the pigment
 }
}

The above code hasn't been tested, but I think it's right.
