Hmmm ... I go the same message with ImageMagick's imdisplay.exe. Maybe the
error message is just a bit too un-exact: the color map is there (according
to the dump), maybe it's just about the unexpected length of 192kB instead
of 256 byte? The values of the dump represent exactly what I have in the
color map (repeated ASCII "0123456789ABCDEF").

Does GraphMagick do a length check for that tag?
