Strange. I don't see any black patches under either Mac OS or Linux/X11.
The only thing I see is the failure to scale the images correctly on the
first attempt.

That's a nice idea. Images at 64x64 are generally so ugly that I never use
that magnification. And it seems that scaling of your images works, after
some initial confusion, both at 32x32 and 64x64.

That's also what it does, at least under Mac TCL.

Well, let me modify that. On the Mac, the image gets distorted (i.e.
expanded to 240 x 160 pixels). In the tcltk interface, however, a smaller
image is drawn instead.
