[Leica] is this a bad pixel? (the bad kind of red dot)

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

  1. I should have noted, the camera in question that produced the 
images is a Leica M9.
2. also, RAW pictures show the same anomaly.
3. finally, i can just shoot f16 1/4000 second and the image is all 
black, but the red pixel appears. to me, that rules out dust or reflections.

thanks,
