Browsing through my newly acquired 1.3 Extras disk (thank you Commodore, CATS,
developers and everyone else who helped bring 1.3 to fruition), I noticed
that with showmem (or whatever the program in Extras to display the chip mem
freelist is called) running, palette promptly exits when started.  No error
message, no GURU, no apparent loss of memory (I think), no nothing.  Curious.
Yet when I quit showmem, palette comes up fine.  I can then start up showmem
and both run happily.  I can repeat this multiple times without problem.
Curiouser, and curiouser.  I realize this is not a serious bug, but it might
bring something to light.
