This seem to be rounding problems. While the previous version
required the tilt angle to be smaller than the limit 
(resulting in problems when zooming is disabled, ie
tiltmin=tiltmax), the new version requires the tiltangle
to be smaller or equal to the limit. I'll think about a
solution. In the meantime, you can set slightly smaller
limits using the tilitmin/max tags.

psize must be equal or larger than the actual file size.
An error occurs if it is smaller. This error is non-fatal,
but the image isn't read completely.

I'll try to trap this error in the next version.

Btw: It is possible to only load a wait image without specifying
a panorama. This might be useful if panoramas are to be loaded into
the running applet, and the applet displays just a start image
when the page is entered.
