Neither can I, to be honest.
Are you /sure/ the image loaded is /genuinely/ different from the file
you want to be loaded, and it isn't just a case of an unexpected look
caused by the lighting conditions, surface properties or whatnot?

Also, how does the loaded image look like? (*)

It's a bit misplaced in this newsgroup then, isn't it?

(*) Could it, for instance, show just coloured stripes or bands? You
know, like if someone accidentally tried to map a pattern extending
across the XY plane (such as an image_map with default map_type) onto a
box that extends across the XZ plane (like a box {<0,0,0>,<1,0.1,1>})?

Just asking ;)
