Dear Eric,

Now I'll have to find a way to resolve the differences between the
old and the new versions of Cvt...

There is at least one system out there where LookupColor returns a
completely bogus value in .pixel.  It looks to me like a server error.
Now I'm stuck with the problem that getting around the sever error
breaks the code on systems with properly-working X servers.  I may
be reduced to adding it as an ugly compile-time switch.

Thanks for checking out the bug fix suggestions and reporting back.
