white dots on black background, mac OSX

[Gilbert Harman]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I like to use a black background with white text in emacs,
but over time annoying little white dots appear.  I can use
^l to get rid of them for a while, but they come back.  So
often I end up using a white background with black text.
