I have had some small problems working with colour tests and colour
selections under 8 bit pixel depth too, the application tended to segfault
if I loaded a colour test without loading a colour selection first. Same
with grey. If I'm running Netscape, as I always am, I tend to be short of
colour cells, and I had the idea it could be linked to this, but I'm not
sure.
