I was trying to look at the pdf
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.20/pdf/Bugzilla-Guide.pdf from
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/ and it failed with the aforementioned message. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get on a SuSE linux system with adobe acrobat reader 7.0
2. go to the URL for the pdf file
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.20/pdf/Bugzilla-Guide.pdf
3. Watch it fail.




The pdf for 2.18.4 fails as well, but the one for 2.21.1 works.

Colin, could you fix the broken PDF please?

This isn't Colin's problem.

bugzilla.org needs to update to the latest libpng, because its PDF-building
tools are broken otherwise.

You just need to rebuild the FC4 libpng RPM for whatever version of RHEL
bugzilla.org is running:

Actually, the PNG file was corrupted, and the newest libpng happens to be able
to work around it.  I just committed a new PNG file replacing bzLifecycle.png,
and the problem seems to be gone.  I opened the existing file in
GraphicConverter, let it repair it, and re-saved it, with no other changes.

Now it's working for me.

Thanks, folks.
