[XForms] fl_set_gamma halts program!

[Peter Rowat]

I made what seemed like a simple change to my program but got this fatal message:

In fl_set_gamma() [flcolor.c:334]: Ignored. Please call fl_set_gamma before fl_initialize()

Process 2238 stopped

When I call fl_set_gamme before fl_initialize the same message appears, twice! 

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to fix this, no success so far. I suspect it is related to the fact that I call fl_initialize twice: once to gather some information and exit XForms, then again to run the main display. 

I’m changing my code to call fl_initialize only once.

Is it the case that fl_initialize should never be called twice?

Meanwhile, this is the code in flcolor.c that emits the message:

fl_set_gamma( double r, double g, double b ) {

....

....

    if ( fli_imap[ 4 ].grayval )

    {

        /* Too lazy to shuffle colormap around */

        M_err( "fl_set_gamma",

               "Ignored. Please call fl_set_gamma before fl_initialize()" );

        return;

    }

.....

}

 and here is the stack when the process is stopped:

Target 0: (modTS) stopped.
