Not really. It's a little hard to fix because, at least as I remember
it, if you allocate the same color twice you're still only supposed to
free it once. So we'd have to add a table to keep track of colors.
At any rate, failure to allocate a color is often attributable to a
very colorful background or to a netscape process.
