It's a cluster running Linux CentOS 64-bit. If it's as simple as getting the file and adding it to my path I'm happy to give it a try...

what hardware are you running on? We can send you a version of mris_copy_header. Or you can can send me the two surfaces (before and after smoothing) and I can see if it fixes the problem

You can see the smoothed version is shifted lower. 

I couldn't find mris_copy_header on my path. Is it only included in the beta
version? I'm running 5.3. Could try beta as well, just not sure how stable
it is...

            I highlight that last bit because maybe it's

                  Hi Chris

                  how do you smooth the surface? Are you sure
            that you retain the
                  surface
                  header information? Try looking at the header
            with mris_info
                  before and
                  after smoothing
