Thanks Albert for the insight, so do you agree that we have a bug here?

I'm sorry but I dont' feel skilled enough to fix this problem, I agree
with you that low color depth is quite rare nowaday, but I'm trying to
port tp to a Linux embedded device wich probaly has limited graphics
capabilities.

The strange thing is that the previous version .17 is working fine on
this device (just a bit slow with grass tool).

Can anybody help to solve this problem? I really like the grass tool
and I don't want to leave it out.

Many thanks in advance.
