This must affect less than 1% of your users, but will be a Godsend for those who've the particular hardware involved in the glitch. Thanks for the heads up.

I have experienced exactly these symptoms on images from Olympus E500 and E520 Cameras, and cured it by reverting the software as you say, However, I am not using a MAC, but a very average PC running WindowsXP SP3, so I don't think the problem is just confined to MACs.

Customers converting their proprietary raw formats from Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and various medium format digital cameras should also not use the DNG Converter 5.5 with the compatibility setting lower than "Camera Raw 5.4 and later."

Is this going to permanently damage the RAW data?

If yes, how come? If the problem is in the demosaicing, the future version (5.6?) should bring the DNG's back to live. I thought, converting to DNG only copies the raw data to a new "container" (ok, maybe some lossless compression), but does not alter the raw data in any way.

Can you please provide the specs of your PC system, specifically the processor?
