The one thing everyone seems to be missing is the importance of the Paper
Size at the time of LayerUtil.  If the source drawing has a different paper size
that the destination drawing, this anomaly happens.  I just ran a test to confirm.  
Be sure to have the correct MSP sheet paper size set before LayerUtiling out
from any drawing.
