But since you are bringing it up, let's have a look at the plug-in as well... What you describe sounds like a very artifical test. As I outlined already, small rounding errors are hard to avoid. So it is not too unlikely that, even for a rather stable algorithm, you can create a test that, when repeated often enough, will give an error. Your test image is very small, so the contribution from the border is large. But of course, an ideal blur algorithm should deal correctly with that. If we look at a larger test image filled with stripes of white and black color, the plug-in seems to do its job rather well. So I don't think there's urgent need to review the plug-in. But of course we will appreciate any patches that improve the result without hurting the performance.
