o - Easy Gif animator displays it correctly.

o - Anything using GDIPlus for gif decoding will display it correctly.

o - Anything that displays it with transparency will be wrong - these programs seem to be ignoring the transparency flag which is 
off in the above sample. It takes a special case to trigger this but if testing background_color_index for transparency it could 
fail in a number of ways.

I used git diff. Could be lack of libavcodec directory in patch.

Try again with attached and if that doesnt work then educate me.
