Most likely XAllocColorCells failed and you're trying
to store a color you haven't allocated.

There's only 256 total colors on the default map to be
shared by all applications using it. I believe Netscape
allocates 64. You can create your own map and use that
instead of the default map. You will have all 256 colors
to you application if you do that, however, you get
"color flashing" as focus changes from one window to the
next and the X-server swaps the single hardware map.
Basically, PseudoColor sucks.
