Would be good to check if the problem exists with the other graphic modes: `-o aa` or `-o caca` or `-o dumb` (no graphics at all)...

Issue:

When using FIM in VirtualBox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I am unable to render desired images to the virtual console framebuffer. When I send the command to display my desired image, the entire console freezes. I have for force restart the system to get out of it. Below are the steps to reproduce:

1) Go to virtual console by pressing ctrl+alt+F1
2) Confirm if /dev/fb0 device exist by doing "ls /dev/fb*"
3) Execute the command: sudo fim full-circle.png -T 1 -d /dev/fb0
4) The entire console will freeze and no image will be rendered

This issue does NOT happen when running Ubuntu on an actual hardware system connected to a physical monitor. Also, this issue does NOT happen when using "fbi (fbida)".

Testing environment:
VirtualBox (on Windows 10) Version 5.1.14 r112924 (Qt5.6.2)
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
FIM built from latest release fim-0.6-trunk.tar.gz (11-Mar-2017 11:21) https://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/fbi-improved/
