    It's a gerbv bug.

     

    Since Eagle V5 the CAM processor has used higher resolution (5dp)

    encoding for both Gerbers and Excellon drill files. It seems gerbv

    correctly identifies this in the Gerbers but assumes 5dp for the drill

    file. You can set the correct resolution byt selecting the DRD layer and

    opening the Layer->Edit file format dialog. Turn off auto and set 5 digit.
