Was your sensor a KAI series, Fred?
what I saw in the image from the original poster is what KAIs do when the camera in which they are used is poorly designed.
I'll wager that this is simply a design problem with the camera. In my assessment their design implementation leaves a lot to be desired
1) USB 2.0 not supported
2) poor cooling
3) dreadfully slow downloads (makes twilght flats with broadband filters very difficult to take a full set in one session
4) high readout noise
they have had the "jailbar pattern" show up in many of their STLs. Kodak has an APP note on an aspect of how the problem is solved, but I can tell you that there's more to the solution than what Kodak disclosed.
I can also tell you that the ML11002 and the PL11002 simply do not have this issue nor do they have the other four issues I cited above. Additionally they aren't limited to "brighter objects" and "warmer operating temperatures". They are just robust: period. No excuses, in other words.
You get what you pay for at best and you never get more than you pay for unless it is trouble.
