[b813] Crashes during Misc. Colors editing

This is weird. I was changing the Misc. Colors, by selecting the little textboxes and clicking the colors on the palette display. After about 90 seconds, the program "experienced an error and had to be closed", according to Windows. Memory leak, maybe?

The weird thing is that people have been saying this happens in 2.10 also, but it never has for me.

I'd rather not post the beta because I don't want anyone getting their hands on my current side-project, which is where the bug is occuring, but I was hoping someone more experienced here could try to duplicate the bug and post it. My guess is it'll happen even in 1st and 2nd Quest, so maybe a developer could try monkeying around with Misc. Colors in one of those .QSTs? I know this move isn't gonna earn me a lot of respect at AGN, but I've stated my reason. Sorryyyy...

And while I'm at it, Din's Fire doesn't seem to work at all anymore either, but that's something else entirely.

Put the Din's Fire bug in another thread if necessary, though that one sounds weird because the very last quest I played I abused Din's Fire quite a bit with no problem.

I can confirm the Misc. Colors crash too. It happens randomly sometimes, but happens every single time if you click to change the "Message Text" color, then click a box in the palette on the left. Crashes it immediately and directly out to the error screen regardless of hwhat quest you're working with. Still happens in 819 too.

Still present in 864.

As far as I can tell, this only happens when you click the "Message Text" box and then try to select a color by clicking it. Typing the color number in manually works fine.
