Yes, I understand that pov, however, if I plan a certain functioninality 
"smash 7 flies" and everytime I use it it will only kill 6 flies.... ;-) 
Well I would document it as "Will kill at least 6 out of 7 flies every 
call"....

But I must admit that I would have known its not a bug when I had looked 
  earlier in the source (seeing these "if bitdepth>8 then bitdepth=8" 
lines ;-)
