[Orca-users] Web page logos corrupt under Linux

Hi,
I had used Orca for several years at work so when I got my new home
Linux system this spring, I installed it there and used the contributed
procallator for the data collector. The only thing that does not work
are the logos for orca, RRDtool and The Rothschildimage. Everything
else is fine. The logos are corrupt. I copied the image files from my
source area to the web area and that seemed to fix it...until orca
updated the web pages. The images were corrupt once more.
So, I took a look at the orca perl script to figure out what it was
doing. The images are hex encoded and included at the very end of the
orca perl script. The script locates them and uses the perl pack
routine to convert them back to the raw image format and puts them in
the orca web page area.
If I right click on one of the logos and view the image in a separate
browser window, it says the image contains errors. I also checked my
web server logs and the logo files are being fed to my browser just
fine. It's that they are corrupt and so the browser has no idea what to
do with them. I've tried this with Netscape 7, Mozilla 1.3 and IE5 and
IE6 from a different machine.
I'm running RedHat 9 with perl 5.8.0, which is what came with RH9.
Any other Linux users seen this? Anyone have any idea what's happening?
You can see the Orca graphs at http://www.dennett.org/orca/procallator/
and scroll to the bottom of any page to see the missing logos.
Thanks
