I'm getting erratic behavior with this block of code.  Sometimes the program
crashes in load_pcx.  Sometimes it doesn't.

#define NUM_IMAGES    3

char *names[NUM_IMAGES] = {
  "GRASS.PCX",
  "WATER.PCX",
  "FOREST.PCX"
};
...
  RGB *pal;
  BITMAP *images[NUM_IMAGES];
...
  for(int i=0; i<NUM_IMAGES; i++)
    {
      images[i] = load_bitmap(names[i], pal);
    }

When it does crash, I get a page fault from within load_pcx.  Would anyone
have an idea as to why this is happening?
