I do not have this problem with R16.1, sparc-solaris2.5.1, gcc 2.7.2

This one I can replicate.  .Colors is not defined anywhere in the base 
library, nor is it loaded by eg x11(). I believe it used to be loaded 
from the data directory by the startup function (in the days before 
Rprofile and libraries).
