Actually, looking on the generate_optimized_palette (...), used in the
makes me think of a previous problem I was having.

I write a lot of GameBoy stuff so recently I was trying to write a 4
colour quantizer to convert to the GameBoy's screen. I used
generate_optimized_palette with an array leaving 4 values and it left me
a protection fault. As soon as I changed the number of colours needed to
256 colours it worked. Would there be any reason it's doing this?

I could write a quick set of example code if necessary...

But, select_palette() and unselect_palette() would work fine in this
case right if it was a 256 colour bitmap being loaded with
set_color_conversion (COLORCONV_NONE); ?
