We had the same problem.  If I remember correctly (since I'm too busy to
go chase this down) it had something to do with the GC named "Over_GC".
I believe that the programmer made an assumption on the values of
Whitepixel and Blackpixel when he set the gc function.  I think that 
you can hack it by reversing the functions.  I didn't spend the time
to consider a more proper fix.

I just thought I didn't understand the rules.  and those that I did
understand didn't seem to be enforced to harshly.
