This is a bug, I introduced some days ago, when changing the color preferences dialog. One of the global vars was too short, to handle the additional color settings.

The reason why it showed up on some platforms but not on others might be that, with different compilers, a different variable was placed after the array in question, so that the variable whose value was trashed by overflowing that array was different, causing different symptoms.
