frombuffer interprets the default decoder settings differently from
fromstring; this is being fixed long-term, but as mentioned in the
documentation, you can do it portably by spelling out the decoder
arguments:

    im = Image.frombuffer(mode, size, data, "raw", mode, 0, 1)

(1.1.7 will also warn you if you call it without the last four arguments).
