I got my hands on the source for a GIF->ASCII convertor from another news-
group that someone had written but after compilation, had the same problems
and when I looked at the code, it WAS for GIF87a where I was using GIF89a.
I think it's the same program and same problem.

...didn't know how to fix it though...so I threw it out.
