Cursors can only contain 3 colors: black, white, and a custom color. The 
order of the colors in the color lookup table is also important, but if 
you get it wrong it won't crash, it will just display incorrectly. I 
used to know the right order but I've forgotten now.

One way to create a cursor that used to work was to import your 3-color 
image into the stack, select any paint tool, and click inside the image. 
Immediately undo. That used to set the color table correctly, but I 
haven't tried it in a long time.

You need to save your original image in a program that allows a 3-color 
CLUT. Four colors won't work.
