DOSBox doesn't set a new palette for M_LIN4 graphics modes. The bug might not have surfaced yet because the previous palette was identical.

I found this when fixing the ET4000 palette bug in Vasyls SVGA patch. Didn't really find anything that breaks but M_LIN4 seems not so uncommon with CAD software. I have one that uses M_LIN4 (video mode 6A) but doesn't break because the previos palette is correct. (It does break with ET4000 because the attrib palette pointers are wrong there - it's this sick greenish look).
I've looked at the palette the S3 BIOS sets in that case and it is identical with the text mode palette.
