This only sets the first line of your BITMAP to the first line of thr
oldbitmap. You need to set the other lines as well as the data pointer.

newbitmap->line[0]=oldbitmap;
newbitmap->line[1]=oldbitmap+8;
[...]
newbitmap->line[6]=oldbitmap+48;
newbitmap->line[7]=oldbitmap+56;

newbitmap->dat=oldbitmap;
