Hi Mikko,

I installed a completely clean Plone-4.0.3 using the unified installer, 
no hickups and it indeed states PIL-1.1.6 is installed. It did say it skipped
libjpeg compilation as they are already on the systems (x64).

Then i copy the Data.fs from a production 3.3.5 site into filestorage and 
change the ownership to plone  (used to be zeo in the 3.3.5) and launch
 the management interface, then perform a upgrade using the migration 
tool....which upgrades the site to 4016 with no issues posted in the zope 
interface. After that  when i goto the site it got two issues... the one with 
some of the images not showing and if i change to  the sunburn theme the
background is suddenly gray color instead of the white one on a virgin 4.0.3 
site.....

not sure the two are correlated but still odd.

PS: If I load the python26 manually and do so from the eggs/PIL directory i 
can perform tests on loading  PIL and jpg handling on the site you listed 
without any errors.

cheers
