The GIF formatdoes not let you repeat a frame per se but if you
have a global LZW dictionary (which I think you do)
then a lot of that duplication will be taken care
of by the encoding itself. The more times you repeat
a frame, the more the encoder will use chunks from
that frame in the dictionary and the smaller the result.
Okay, it ain't ideal, but it's the best you can do (as
far as I know).
