I haven't seen those, but I've seen colormap problems.

I'm using X11R5pl8 (twm) on a 4/75 with a GX running 4.1.1.

When I do so, everything *looks* okay.

gs looks fine to me, but I think it's allocating the colormap cells as read-
only and not deallocating them.  I can fire up gs and watch it allocate a
bunch of colormap cells (thanks to xshowcmap), then exit it and fire up
xv or xloadimage.  Nothing seems able to reallocate those cells.
