Has the colourmap been consumed by existing clients? Does the problem
occur if the monitor is the only program running using the display?

The above error should only occur if InitColorTableFixed() is unable
to obtain the 8 corners of the RGB colour cube (black, red, green,
blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, white).

Either someone is committing changes to the devel branch, or the
merging isn't occurring. The CVS server is currently unavailable, so I
can't determine which is the case.
