The problem is that when someone opens my geotiffs in arcview, a whole
black palette is displayed as 253 colors that aren't used. It's not
just the return vector that looks like it has 255 elements in it, I
believe the tiff file is stored with 255 when I've only asked it to
store 2 values.

Nope, thanks. I'm looking for a way to have a tif palette that's
shorter than 255 elements.

Is this too much to ask for? Is it against the spec?
