Inline images display red when scrolling

I have such an odd problem with Mail. Mail will display inline images, but when I scroll down through the message, the image tint gradually changes to red. I've also noticed distortion in the text of the message, such that the text becomes almost unreadable.

Is anyone else having this problem?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Have you updated to 10.5.6 and installed the mail update as your profile says 10.5.2?

Glad I found your post... I thought people were going to think I'm nuts and I wasn't even sure how I was going to explain the issue. I have not noticed this happening in Mail... yet, but I have been able to consistently reproduce it in Aperture. When scrolling up and down, the text in the left pane blossoms increasingly red. I am uploading some screen grabs and a screen capture movie of this oddity. I'm thinking this thread should be moved by an administrator to a more general forum. This is the strangest thing I have ever seen. I'll post a link shortly.

I've uploaded the proof. As I scroll up and down using the scroll wheel, watch how the text and folder icons begin to bloom in intensity a red hue in the center out. Then when I click on another item in the frame, it disappears. It repeats again when I start scrolling. I also drag it onto my right screen (dual monitor setup which you can't see), and it disappears as it wipes to 2nd display. I've never seen anything like it. Anyone have any ideas?
