If OpenScreen() fails because there is not enough memory for the screen
raster, layer, or gadgets data structures, the colormap it has
allocated is not freed.  You can minimize the occurence of this
by allocating your own bitmap and using custombitmap, but there
are still some further allocations that can fail (none nearly as
large, though).

This bug will be eliminated in future releases.
