Has anyone had this problem?

I'm observing palette value corruption.  I've created a simple program that 
demonstrates
the problem I'm having.  It writes values to the palette, then reads them 
back, comparing
the read and write values.  I'm using 1.9.9. with a Radon card (r128 
driver) on a PIII running
Linux 2.2.19

Here's a sample of the output:

0: [  0:  0:  0]  [  0:  0:  0] attemps=0
1: [  1:  1:  1]  [  0:  1:  1] attemps=100
2: [  2:  2:  2]  [  0:  2:  2] attemps=100
3: [  3:  3:  3]  [170:  3:  3] attemps=100
4: [  4:  4:  4]  [170:  4:  4] attemps=100
5: [  5:  5:  5]  [170:  5:  5] attemps=100
6: [  6:  6:  6]  [170:  6:  6] attemps=100
7: [  7:  7:  7]  [ 85:  7:  7] attemps=100
8: [  8:  8:  8]  [ 85:  8:  8] attemps=100

Here's the program that demonstrates the problem:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <vga.h>
#include <vgagl.h>

main()
{
	int i, r, g, b, rT, gT, bT, j;
	FILE *filePtr;

	filePtr = fopen( "ptest.log", "w" );
	
	if( vga_init() != 0 ) {
		fprintf( filePtr, "vga_init failure\n" );
		exit( 1 );
	}

	if( vga_setmode( G1024x768x256 ) ) {
		fprintf( filePtr, "setMode failed\n" );
		exit( 1 );
	}
	
	// set context to physical screen
	if( gl_setcontextvga( G1024x768x256 ) != 0 ) {
		fprintf( filePtr, "gl_setcontextvga failure: mode not supported\n" );
	}
	
	// set extended feature 8 bit lut
	vga_ext_set( VGA_EXT_SET, VGA_CLUT8 );

	for( i = 0 ; i < 256 ; i++ ) {
		r = i;
		g = i;
		b = i;
		for( j = 0 ; j < 100 ; j++ ) {
			gl_setpalettecolor( i, r, g, b );
			gl_getpalettecolor( i, &rT, &gT, &bT );
			if( r == rT && g == gT && b == bT )
				break;
		}
		
		fprintf( filePtr, "%d: [%3d:%3d:%3d]  [%3d:%3d:%3d] attemps=%d\n",
				 i, r, g, b, rT, gT, bT, j );
	}
	
	vga_setmode( TEXT );
}
