d.colormode problem

[Bob Abrahart]

When I change to "float mode" using d.colormode and attempt to
display a map the map appears to draw OK - but I get the following 
error messages:

reset_color: can't set color 256
reset_color: can't set color 257
reset_color: can't set color 258
reset_color: can't set color 259
reset_color: can't set color 260
reset_color: can't set color 261
reset_color: can't set color 262
reset_color: can't set color 263
reset_color: can't set color 264
reset_color: can't set color 265
reset_color: can't set color 266
reset_color: can't set color 267
reset_color: can't set color 268
reset_color: can't set color 269
reset_color: can't set color 270
reset_color: can't set color 271
reset_color: can't set color 272
reset_color: can't set color 273
reset_color: can't set color 274
reset_color: can't set color 275

Now this map only has values that range from 0 to 255 so this is not 
what would be expected.  Why would GRASS be trying to set a colour to
values that it does not have to draw?  Any ideas?

All suggestions as to where I should start looking for the problem
would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
