i believe the binary you downloaded exhibits the bug, but i can't
verify under which conditions... I tried compiling a new binary on an
old solaris 8 machine but couldn't -- the new drawterm code has no
solaris hooks and the machine is too far away (and too busy) for me to
try to import the relevant bits from the old code, even though a
perfunctory look indicates it to be more than trivial (getcallerpc is
there, but there's a non-posix solaris-specific thread implementation)
i may try still.

i compiled the old code and ran a test (both the binary from the web
and the newly compiled one): despite being painfully slow, displaying
on an X running under PowerPC (OSX) did not show color problems,
however in both cases drawterm crashed with some X error or other.

i apologize for being useless :(
