[Image-SIG] Re: suspected bug in PIL 1.1.3 bmp reader

[Jeff Breidenbach]

Following up on the suggested patch.

I tried the BmpReader patch below [1] supplied by Fredrik [2] to see
if it would fix a BMP reader problem [3]. Unfortunately it appeared to
have no effect, and the same error message occured namely "ValueError:
unknown raw mode."

I think I patched PIL correctly (I'm a Debian user, so I grabbed the
source for the package, patched it, rebuilt the .deb, and installed
it). However, I'm pretty new to Python/PIL so it's possible that
I missed something.
