DinkC Reference's load_palette entry includes a warning that "In some situations this function can cause the colors to mess up and change in a way unintended by the specified palette. A better option is to apply your palette to a BMP file and use copy_bmp_to_screen() to change the palette."

Can somebody explain what the "some situations" are? I've done some brief testing but haven't got any messed up colors.
