Dorothy,

Well I'm glad that it's not just me and that it must be something systemic.

I also took a look at th code and I think I have to disagree about your
analysis - unless I'm looking at the wrong thing.

I'm assuming that you are referring to the following code:

    r_air_noswap = (bm.air_noswap >> 16) & 0xff;
    g_air_noswap = (bm.air_noswap >> 8) & 0xff;
    b_air_noswap = (bm.air_noswap) & 0xff;

I added printf statements and and found that it does do the right thing.
Here is my output:

bm.air_noswap: 2299ff
r_air_noswap: 22
g_air_noswap: 99
b_air_noswap: ff

Assuming a color spec 0x2299ff, it does break up the RGB values correctly.
