Obviously I missed something while porting 24-plane TGA code from the kernel
into MILO... Unfortunately, I haven't got any TGA equipment to test all that.
Since milo-avanti-980606 works OK, I think the most reasonable thing to do is
to take the TGA code from it, that is, wait until my patches get merged with
the unreleased patches from Jay Estabrook that went into milo-avanti-980606
(hopefully with enough care to avoid that "not enough memory" error).
Derrick, thanks very much for your report. I'll send it to Jay, because I'm
on vacations now and cannot handle it properly until I come back...
