Bug Description
Hi,
When I generate drill files for PCB house in GerbView it shows way off. Not sure if the generated files are at fault or the problem is at the GerbView.
Way to recreate is to use any board in Pcbnew export Gerber files. Then generate drill files with options:
-File format: Excellon
-Drill Units: Inches
-Zeros Format: Suppress leading zeros
-Drill Map File Format: PostScript
-Excellon Drill File Options: Minimal header
-Drill Origin: absolute
When I check in GerbView the drill holes are way off (dimensions multiplied by 10). When I export in Gerber X2 format it all looks aligned.
Please see attached file with my simple test.

This has been fixed in the meantime, but you seem to have found a new way to trigger this bug.
