Exclamation 40D Sensor Problem?

I took some pics today saving in RAW + L(jpg) format. I then imported them to iPhoto 09 and used the left/right cursor keys quickly switch back and forth between the two for comparison.

I was surprised by the color richness in the RAW pics and think I'll shoot RAW from now on.

Problem: The JPG format pics had a noticeable gap of missing pixels running the entire width of the camera when pics were taken holding the camera horizontal. Switching between the two pics to compare, you can see the JPG pic shifts the bottom 1/4" or so of the image UP overlapping a few tiny rows of pixels. It's very noticeable when quickly switching back/forth between the two pics on screen. I might not have otherwise ever noticed it since I had previously shot only in JPG mode.

Any thoughts? Should I send it to Canon for repair?
