Subject: [Leica] IMG: annoying banding - is my M8 becoming a paper weight?

Just unloaded a memory card with about 60 Leica M8 images. Of those, four 
had annoying banding such as this one:

This is the first time I have seen this since buying the M8 in December 
2008. I suppose I should concluded that Leica's quality control is precisely 
tuned so that the thing starts acting up just after the 2-year warranty 
expires. 

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? If this gets worse, I will 
have to send the M8 to Solms, good thing I have my GF-1....

Cheers,
Nathan (not a happy camper this Monday morning)
