QTR-Quadtone RIP

I would try using less data points, say 21. I seem to remember reading 
on this board in the past that, even though the readings don't actually 
reverse, if the intervals are not reasonably smooth then this error can 
occur. The chances of this happening are increased the more data points 
you have.

I've tried density data and running it through the linearize program to no avail.  I never had this problem with the old Windows version, except when there actually was a problem.  Any suggestions?
