Helmut,
I removed the 'psize' parameter from the HTML and
the black artifacts that I was seeing at the bottom of my
panos are gone!
Perhaps I have to set this exactly for it to work?
Frankly, I didn't find this extremely useful anyway.
I think the animated GIF solution is more valuable
for keeping people entertained while the pano is loading.
Best,
Gummy
