OK, I have got an example, after only using !Variations 0.41c and 
OvPro 2.76 on an yonix RO 5.11 (22feb06)  for only 5 minutes. It is 
that easy!

After using the two for 5 minutes I have a line of coloured pixels 
across a 12MB sprite backdrop on a 2048x1536x16M colour screen.

The combination of Variations and OvPro is guaranteed to give you a 
line of false pixels after less than half an hours' intensive use of 
both (on my machine).

I have before and after whole-screen grabs (You can also see what else 
is on the icon bar if you must).

How should I send them to you? [I will zip them].
