Hi,

Setting the foreground color and background color to anything other
than black or white, respectively, messes up font-lock mode.  For
example: message-header-to-face in its default state is MidnightBlue
(according to describe-face).  But after changing the
foreground/background color to something other than white/black, it is
green3.  This happens for all modes (font-lock-warning which is Red
becomes Pink after the color change).

This is with Emacs from CVS HEAD (2002-06-23).  And I haven't been
able to reproduce this on any other system, so it probably is
something that is weird with my system.

Any pointers on where to start looking for this bug (if it is a bug)?

Cheers,
