Then it is a major bug. I would agree that in certain situations the 
colors may change, but when I find multiple entries with exact same color 
in the PNG file, then there is a real bug. Because there is no sense in 
modifying colors when the table is not yet fully used.

How did you implement this? In pngnq? Because something like a "Don't try 
to modify following colors" option would not only be a useful idea for 
t at h.
