Subject: xlockmore seems to run out of colormap entries

Package: xlockmore
Version: 4.06.1-1

I often run xlock with no arguments, and no xlock-specific resources,
for hours, even days at a time.  I've noticed recently that "braid" in
particular gets a scrambled colormap -- if you start "xlock -mode
braid" it looks fine, but if you run xlock for 8 hours or so (cycling
through other modes), you will probably see braid show up in a mode
where the colors are in fragments, instead of a continuous range.
xlock doesn't print any messages when this happens, though. 

I don't think I ever saw this in a version of xlock that didn't have
the cool new 3d effects, but I can't guarantee that that was the
triggering change.  If you'd like me to run a version with some
debugging output in it overnight some time, I can do that if it would
help...
