I got bitten by a similar sounding bug elsewhere in the X11 API. I can't now find the relevant posts, but IIRC, the key to it was the bit where the docs say that the format argument must be one of 8, 16, or 32 - this, it seems, is considered to be binding, so if the size is > 32, then it is fixed at 32. I don't think I followed (or necessarily agreed with) the argument the X11 guys were making for this, but it seems it essentially comes down to being backwards compatible (I think.) I have not been able to find that written down anywhere, either, but that appears to be the Way It Works now... So, on that basis, Albrecht's fix is good, I think, though anyone looking at that later will probably be going WTF?!
