Psychedelic PAM P7 4 byte/Pixel GRAYSCALE_ALPHA rendering

[brianp]

I am looking at 4 byte/pixel, grayscale-alpha .PAM P7 files in XnView MP on Linux, latest.
The images seem to be interpreting the gray-opacity data as RGB(A?).
ImageMagick converts it correctly to PNG so the format seems to be correct.

This is part of an HDR experiment so the PNG file is largely transparent.
