[IMAGE-SIG] problem reading .xbm files in PIL 0.3a1

[Piers Lauder]

I have 2 .xbm format files:
	: s facemail ; ls -l *face.xbm
	-rw-rw----   1 piers    piers       1529 Jul  3 15:50 newface.xbm
	-rw-rw----   1 piers    piers       1850 Jul  7 14:32 oldface.xbm

I can read one with PIL, but not the other. Both display fine with xv.
	>>> import Image
	>>> im=Image.open('newface.xbm')
	>>> im=Image.open('oldface.xbm')
	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
	  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.4/local/Image.py", line 713, in open
	    raise IOError, "cannot identify image file"
	IOError: cannot identify image file
	>>> 

'newface' was created with PIL and looks like:
	: s facemail ; sed 10q newface.xbm
	#define im_width 48
	#define im_height 48
	static char im_bits[] = {
	0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xd8,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x26,
	0x06,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x80,0x09,0x11,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x40,0x04,0x40,0x00,0x00,
	0x00,0xa0,0x02,0xa0,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x30,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x58,0x01,

'oldface' was created with xv, and looks like:
	: s facemail ; sed 10q oldface.xbm
	#define face_width      48
	#define face_height     48
	static char     face_bits[] = {
	  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
	  0x00, 0x00, 0xa0, 0x7a, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x78, 0xc0, 0x00, 0x00,
	  0x00, 0x00, 0xfc, 0xff, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0xbe, 0xfe, 0x02, 0x00,

Will the next release be able to read the 'xv' format?
(Or should I start writing a conversion routine :-)
