OLED imaged unknown image format, but working #475

Looping stacked frame BMP displays fine, no error.
Single frame BMP displays fine, but 'Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1'
Non-looped PBM also works but 'Unknown image format. a=-1 b=-1'
Seems they're just not read right and not matching a case in the TAG2 switch?
Looking at the PBM file, it does have a 'P4' magic number, yet the error gets reported.

For non-looped options, only PBM is working by using Imagemagick convert
Just doing cat *bmp > boot.bmp makes a file, but it doesn’t animate on OLED. Shows first frame only for duration.
Windows copy /b *bmp boot.bmp = Same results.

It would be great if a 3rd party command line image tool wasn't required to get these non-looping to work.
It's a bunch of hoops for the average user to get it installed with NetPBM.
