16 bit color map causes awt.dll to crash on win95

I figured out the problem; appletviewer works fine on win95 if the
display is set for 256 colors. When I set the display for 16bit
color I get the exception thrown I noted below. Note that netscape/java works
fine in 16bit mode.

It's an IBM Thinkpad 760CD; the adapter as listed in the
display properties is: IBM ThinkPad(Cyber9320)
