[Merkaartor] Problems with data alignment when panning

Chris,

The WMS URI is http://geoint.lmic.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/wms?

The layer is under >Statewide and is called 2008 Color...

The SRS is EPSG:26915 and the image format is jpeg.

Here is the custom SRS entry in Projections.xml:
  <Projection name="UTM 15N NAD83 (epsg:26915)" >+proj=utm +zone=15
+ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs </Projection>

I couldn't figure out how to view the bbox in Merkaartor, but here is
an OSM url that fits the area pretty closely:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.74746&lon=-90.33634&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF

It seems as though the shift occurs when moving multiple pans in one
direction.  I have been able to get it back in alignment by moving
around and returning to the scale at which the download was done.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to track it down.

David.
