We will update the FAQ with that question soon. Really shocked it does affect so many servers.

in the Sprite (it is stretched and vertical lines are added), than you possible use a GD Libary older than 2.0.36.

GD had a problem handling grayscale images with alpha channel correctly, wich was fixed with GD 2.0.36 in the Year 2007.

The solution is to update the GD-Libary to 2.0.36 (or later) or replace every file which uses "gray+alpha" with an version using "color RGBA".

I would advise to update the GD-Libary, cause there is also a serious security problem, that was fixed in the Year 2009 by Debian.



I am totally shocked by this, since there seem to be a whole bunch of people with this kind of problem and this fix is 4 years old and since 2 years known als high security fix by debian.
So there seems to be a lot problem within the maintenance of servers, if some serious security issue isnt solved since 2-4 years. If you pay money for server maintenance i would be deeply shocked, if i were you.
