I can ask. But the people I know will probably have to pass it on via a
chain of others. So I have no idea if/when I'd get any answers. Chances
are, by then the problem will have mysteriously 'fixed itself' again!

IIRC 'missing segments' have been a problem in the past for periods.

BTW I suspect this they happen for some modes and not others. And it has
been reported on usenet that they can cause the resolution to abruptly
change downwards for the rest of a fetched item. 

But as yet, I've not seen the problem. So only have what others report to
go on. Should add for clarity that I've still been using 'old' versions of
gip, though, as I've not yet got around to getting and trying 3.00.
