      So it looks like 10000 bytes is the image size limit.

      So I dropped it down to 128 colours and squeeked it in.

  As a note, I'd say that one should always make the file as small as possible, 
presuming it doesn't effect image quality.

  Eg, if only using 64 colors, save it as a 64 color image.  There are benefits 
everyplace for doing so.

  Now I'm not sure how PNG stores its data.  I'd guess that reducing to 128 
colors made it small enough because it eliminated some number of colors, not 
because it was a more efficient image format.

  BTW, the 10000 byte limit is just a define - MAX_IMAGE_SIZE in socket/image.c. 
  I'd expect that could be increased with no issues at all.
