-I suspect your color allocation problems have to do with the server selected
-and/or the colormaps used.
No, this message occurs because VGA cards can display only 16 colors at a
time. GIF images can contain 256 colors. You'll get this message from xgif
with nearly any image if you're using a VGA card. I think the only card that
supports 256 colors and is supported by ISC's X server is the IBM 8514A.
