Ah. this is a mono pmax, right. Oops, you say that in the Subject: line.

The mono pmaxes have a smaller VRAM than the colour pmaxes. They pack
eight one-bit pixels per byte.

The most likely cause is that Andy Doran's new, improved,
better-faster, blit code isn't aware of the pixel bit-order within
each 8-pixel byte of the mono pmax framebuffer.  (I vagely
recall Ted mentioning the same thing when he was portmaster.)

It should be straightforward to fix. Andy's stamp code is beyond my
ken, but hopefully we can come up with a patch you can test soon, and
definitely get this fixed before 1.5.
