Bug in 256 color terminal, colors > first 8 appear as white

Hi there,

I have xterm and rxvt set up for 256 colors, however when I start
emacs -nw in these, list-colors-display shows 256 rows, but only the
first 8 actually display with different colors, the rest are all shown
in white.  This seems like it is a bug in emacs (although these things
can be tricky to pinpoint).

I am fairly sure non-emacs factors have been set up OK.  From the
xterm/rxvt, if I run 256colors2.pl (found on the net), I get all the
colors showing nicely, verifying that the terminals themselves are set
for 256 colors.  Running "tput colors" shows 256.  My $TERM is
xterm-256color.

Is this a bug, or is there some configuration I am missing? (I am
running emacs built from CVS a couple of weeks ago)


Cheers,
Len.
