Description

I'm trying to use canvas to draw some polygons and output an indexed, paletted png. This code works for some sets of polygons but for others I get the error:
```
libpng error: Wrote palette index exceeding num_palette
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
```

I've attached a script that generates this segfault every time on my machine, though on some other machines it just spits out the error and doesn't segfault.

## Your Environment
