Config: X11R4, twm, Sparcstation I

I have a program that creates a window and a colormap and associates
the colormap with the window using XSetWindowColormap().

This works fine, in that when the cursor comes into the window, twm
switches to my colormap, and when I move out of the window, it
switches back, and so on.

However, on random occasions (not always), I get the message

twm:  client illegally changed colormap (i = -1, j = -1

Also, sometimes on those occasions, twm doesn't install my  colormap
when I enter the program window.

Anybody  have any ideas?

(Note: the only other colormap related calls I use are:
XCreateColormap, XStoreColor, XLookupColor)

Thanks.
