No wonder I couldn't find that bug in xloadimage... BTW, when you resize
an xloadimage window in only one dimension you can pull the image all
the way 'outside' of the window in the other dimension, with some 
interesting results.  Is this a feature?

SS1, SunOS 4.0.3c
X11R4, fix-5
xloadimage 1.04
twm w/colormap fix.
