WARNING on V4.0.17 - do NOT use color number 8

Hello all,

In the Judo world of Webots v4.0.17, the LED's of the Judoka robots
got a new color scheme, but also with one color less: 7 colors in
stead of 8 (this includes 0 = off).

WARNING: 
make sure you do NOT use color number 8 when upgrading to the Judo
world of version 4.0.17.
If you do, Webots will crash your controller without any Java stack
dump (in Windows XP you can get a memory dump of the Webots program,
but that is of no use to us Webots controller programmers).


Olivier: 
I suggest you add a check to Webots against using invalid color numbers.
Just ignoring the call, or limiting the color to the valid range would
be fine. 
But crashing without any hint is very frustrating and can cost a lot
of time.
