Thanks for the reply Olivier. I read through the emails that you
exchanged with Dorothy. Unfortunately her problem seems unrelated to
mine. For one, I also had tried using a snapshot from 2002-12-20 (that
fixed a high-color problem I was having with Solaris), which is after
the snapshot you provided on 2002-12-02 to fix Dorothy's problem. I'm
having problems even loading PNGs.
thanks,
Ben
