Ick.  Now that I read more closely, it seems that the bug I found was not
the same as yours.  The problem I found was caused by the board label
text not being entirely contained within the board (now fixed in CVS).
Hopefully that fixes your problem too... if not, one thing that might
cause problems with big boards is a small stack size limit.  The
g_alloca() at the end of board_expose() could use a couple of megabytes of
stack space -- does replacing that with a malloc() (which can be free()d
immediately after the gdk_draw_rgb_image() call) help?

Cheers,
Gary.
