Hi all,

(thanks Sandro for the files)

I have checked by running pdflatex a few times, then compare two
successive runs, that the only changes are:
* /CreationDate
* /ModDate
* /ID in the /XRef table
nothing else has changed.

I don't see anything related to the images being problematic, but
I honestly don't know what the /ID in the xref table is doing.

All the best

Norbert
