BUG:	When IMPORTing formats with native colormaps such as GIF and when
	not specifying the 'outbands' parameter images will be converted
	without applying the colormap and converting to grayscale.  The
	resulting image looks like garbage and is simply the color indices
	of the image.  The error is caused by a bad flag initialization,
	the workaround is to explicitly set the outbands parameter so the
	processing initializes the flag correctly.  For example

	    	cl> import foo bar outbands='b1'

	'b1' is the default image operator and it's use in the outbands
	param will cause the colormap to be applied.

STATUS:	Fixed for V2.11.2
