Computing the number of unique colors is expensive and is generally not
very useful for images with a huge number of unique colors.  We introduced
a cutoff at 1024 colors.  If your image has less than 1024 colors they
are displayed with the 'identify -verbose' command.  What we'll do is
introduce a -unique option to the identify command to compute the number
of colors.
