The demo file doesn't produce a real bitmap.  It rather uses ASCII
characters to represent the buffer data.  The text lines are very
long.

Believe me, this works.  You have to check your code.

Uuh, *never* send uncompressed BMP files again!  This small image has
a ridiculous size of 2.2MByte.  In PNG format, it takes only 5kByte.

It seems that the long text lines are simply wrapped...  Switch off
line wrapping in your editor and use an extremely small font size to
display the output of the demo program.
