Hi,

This problem comes up once a year or so -- seldom enough to make it
impossible to track down, except on the reporter's machine.  I always
test on a SPARC/Solaris machine before every release, and I've never
seen it.  (My Sun's running Solaris-2.9.)

So I'm afraid I can't help -- the only things I can think of are:
- that your framebuffer is running out of colours, or
- that there's a bug in the X libraries (Do you have the most
  recent of Sun's patch bundles?)

Does "make check" work fine, and if "make install" shows the problem, then
it is likely that an environment variable isn't set correctly.  But I've
never seen problems of this nature.

Sorry, but that's all I can suggest...
