Ah yes, that happened with Brian's SGI box. I think it is fixed now.
However, what I intended to do in the future is a generic handling of
blitters according to the current X11 RGB masks instead of making strong
assumptions about them beforehand. The specialised blitters will still
have to be used for "optimal" performance.

We could also complete the blitters so that all known RGB masks
configurations are covered correctly.

Ouch, I will then have to bug hunt why, in double-precision, MacOS 8
scrollbars don't scroll whereas the window contents do scroll. In
extended-precision, the scrollbars behavior is as expected.
