Did you install any updates to SPM5 between doing the two sets of
processing?  The discrepancy comes from the way the coordinates of the
voxels in the spatially normalised data are selected to best fit the
bounding box.  I can't remember exactly what changes were made, but
you can obtain the same image dimensions by setting the bounding box
to: [[-78 -112 -50];[78 76 84]] instead of [[-78 -112 -50];[78 76 85]]
.  The difference depends on whether 85/2 (ie 42.5) should be treated
as being closer to 42 or 43.
