That's actually very improbable :-). The glyph cache has always been 16 bit
wide only, which is a heritage from using AGG sample code. I don't remember
well, maybe there was a period of time where Haiku's app_server would
already work but would not yet use the AGG based glyph cache, but the one

Anyways, Ingo and I have worked on this problem, and r31780 should
hopefully fix it. The planes certainly don't wrap around anymore. :-)
