What's really strange here... is the back side of the map (a blow up of old town).. I hadn't touched since mid November... I just opened it and IT TOO is a control curve... which might indicate to me that it's an application issue or a global setting or condition, rather than just an item that had been changed in a file...

The real issue here is that I cannot proceed because I cannot weld anything more to it.. I could cheat and just lay a rectangle with no border (non-stroked) over top of it but that's lame.

Any other ideas??

PS you see the new 17" MacBook Pro today... 3 gig processor, 8 gigs of ram and a video processor that's 5 times faster... whoa!! I'm on that in March for sure.
