Hi Raj,

What projection were you using to run these tests? I would expect them
to be different for different projections, and for different latitudes
within the same projection. This is affected by the degree/pixel ratio
characteristic of a projection, which is likely variable in most cases,
depending on latitude. Equal Arc projections (constant degree/pixel
ratios) should be OK, though, like the LLXY projection and the CADRG
projection within the same zone.
