#3 EGifOpen doesn't initialize the compression hash table

[Tony Cook]

Unlike the other EGifOpen...() functions, EGifOpen()
doesn't initialize the compression hash table. This
patch fixes that.

This only applies to giflib, not to libungif.

never mind, someone else had already supplied a similar
patch (any chance of a release so I can point people at a
version that works?)
