ok, ty. That explains why I was seeing what looked like a honeycomb in part 
of the image.

FYI, I downloaded the PDS plug-in source code from:
    http://areo.info/gimp/gimp-2.8/pds-2.4.116.tar.gz

I tried to build it for use with the 2.99 (development) version of GIMP. 
There were errors in the pds.c file which lead me to believe the way that 
plug-ins tie in to GIMP has changed. I don't have time right now to work out 
what changes are required to fix the compile errors.

That's a question for a Mac user.
