I have discovered a bug in both PadLeft[] and PadRight[].<br>
Bellow is the test.<br>
As the test shows, in PadRight[], Mathematica 5.2 replaced Infinity as 1 automatically, which is not supposed to happen.<br>
<br>
In[1]:=      img = Table[x*10 + y, {x, 3}, {y, 3}]

Out[1]:=   {{11, 12, 13}, {21, 22, 23}, {31, 32, 33}}

-----------------------------------------

In[2]:=     PadRight[img, {3, 3}, value, {1, 1}]

Out[2]:=   {{value, value, value}, {value, 11, 12}, {value, 21, 22}}

-----------------------------------------

In[3]:=     PadRight[img, {3, 3}, Infinity, {1, 1}]

Out[3]:=   {{1, 1, 1}, {1, 11, 12}, {1, 21, 22}}

-----------------------------------------

And as far as I know, these functions are fine while dealing with other values such as number, symbol and string.

I hope above information will be a little helpful if others come cross the case in future.
