BUG:	The outbands expression

	    setcmap(zscale(i1,@'i_minpixval',@'i_maxpixval'),'heat')

	will fail to find the colormap name properly because of a confusion
	in counting the quotes when parsing the expression resulting in a 
	'Cannot open requested colormap file' message.

STATUS:	Fixed in V2.11.2.  A code change is required to fix this bug.  As a
	workaround users can first use export to create an IRAF image of
	the scaled values, and then again to apply to colormap.  For example

	    cl> export dev$pix foo imh 
	    >>>     outbands='zscale(i1,@'i_minpixval',@'i_maxpixval')'
	    cl> export foo bar gif outbands='setcmap(i1,'heat')
