[Image-SIG] PIL 1.0b1 and GifImagePlugin.py

[Daniel Walton]

I'm having a problem with the GifImagePlugin module and figured someone one
this list would be able to patch it easily.  I looked over the source
briefly but don't have the time to go in depth to figure out a patch,
sorry.  Here's the traceback.  Looks like it might have something to do
with Gif global vs. local palettes but I could be wrong. A GIF image is
temporarily available at the following URL that exhibits the problem:

Traceback (innermost last):

If anyone comes up with a patch I would greatly appreciate a copy.
