It crashes on my Slackware 2.0 box, which is an ELF based system
with a 1.2.13 kernel.

$ ldd bin/LINUX-ELF/amayamain 
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0

$ /usr/bin/X11/X -showconfig

XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
Operating System: Linux 
Configured drivers:
  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
      mmio_928, s3_generic

It crashes when displaying on the local host.  Just now I tried
setting the DISPLAY to a remote machine and it was able to display
the pallette without crashing.  I also tried 3 different window
on the local system.  It crashed in every case.  Apart from Amaya
I don't have any problems with this Xserver.  It appears to crash
after it has displayed the two lines of text at the top of the
pallette window, but before it has displayed any of the colors.

Without source I can't help debug this problem any futher.
