Probably nothing's up. Try playing with it in other ways. Gocr worked (almost) tolerably well for me the times that I have used it. I believe it is much more sensitive to things like rotated text and font size than you find in commercial ventures. IIRC there were a number of tweaks one could perform in its setup, too. I haven't used it recently (w/in the last year) so don't know if things have changed a lot.
