I wonder:

1. Is the number of pictures the problem? Or was there some way in which the 
program was trying to do the impossible -- for instance, keeping a picture in 
a position that was too small for it?

2. Could the anchor position have an effect?

3. What if the picture was placed inside a frame, and the frame size and 
position protected?

I'm going to see what results I get in answering these questions. I'll post my 
results, probably by tomorrow evening.
