That shouldn't cause an error; perhaps there's something odd in how you 
create the second picture?

You could take the region, copy it and union in four translated versions.

Alternatively, you could expose a 'grow region' primitive in XFIXES.  I

specified; I'd look at the Mac version first.

Thanks for getting convolutions working.
