That's what I see. Mostly it occurs when the 'background' color isn't
quite white. It is white on the monochrome part. The 'simple' solution is
to check for monochrome in the calculate_desired_size() function and change
bpp to 1 if it is monochrome. Then all calls to convert will use bpp = 1
even for multiimages. We'll probably have to add a function to do this in
all of the NEWxxx.py parsers that are children of the ImageParser class.

I too vote for black & white. (Or in my case black & green.) 8^)
