When I run any combination of NetScape 2.02/3.0b4 for BSD386/Linux on a
NetBSD 1.1 release box, the colors come out all wrong - all the reds are
pure blue (I didn't spend enough time comparing to pick out anything
else). When I run NetScape 1.12 for BSD386 on the same machine, the
colors are just fine.

Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, is it fixed by a change in a
newer version of NetBSD (very doubtful, since the OS itself has nothing
to do with colors in an X window :-), a new version of XFree86 (I am
running 3.12), or something odd I need to do to a configuration file
somewhere?
