[comp.windows.x] available colors

I'm running XV11R2 on a VAXstation II/GPX.  I create a new
colormap with XCreateColormap(), passing AllocAll as the
number of entries to allocate, and I'm getting 254 back,
instead of the expected 256.  Given that XRecolorCursor()
takes XColor definitions for the color rather than
pixel values, I assume that the extra colors are used
for cursors.  Is this correct?  If so, what does this
do to standard colormaps, like XA_RGB_BEST_MAP?
