Mike,
I've updated the release notes to be more specific (and less alarming!) on the problem found with mris_anatomical_stats. The new notes state:
"mris_anatomical_stats effectively ignores the <surface name> command line argument when reporting on its curvature measures, and will always report on the pial surface. This does not impact the results output by mris_anatomical_stats when executed by recon-all, as it reports on the pial surface as-is (the <surface name> option of mris_anatomical_stats is not used by recon-all)."
In short, the results produced by mris_anatomical_stats, as called by recon-all, are correct for all distributed versions of Freesurfer.
It is only if the <surface name> argument is used, and a surface other than pial is specified, that the bug exposes itself.
Sorry for the misinformation.

Hello,
The FS release notes for v3.0.5 state: "mris_anatomical_stats produces incorrect results. There is no work- around. A replacement for Linux is here. This fix will appear in the next release."
Is the entire output of 'mris_anatomical_stats' incorrect, or just one part of it? And, does the problem, whatever it is, apply to any previous stable versions (e.g., v3.0.4)?
thanks, Mike Harms
