By the way my first thought when seeing a bug report like this, is that it is an 
attempt to break into developers' systems by sending a carefully-crafted image 
designed to exploit a bug in a popular image library. Perhaps I'm being too 
paranoid, but you never know. (Next time, I think I may just ignore or close the 
bug report without looking at the image. :-)
