338462 - JPEG which works fine in other tools (gqview, the GIMP) doesn't display in firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 44781

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Joe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060518 Minefield/3.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060518 Minefield/3.0a1

When I try to view:
http://barillari.org/~jdb/thumb.jpg

...I get the standard "The image xyz cannot be displayed, because it contains errors" error message. 

Standard linux programs (the GIMP, gqview) display the image without complaint.

For reference, the image was generated from the file
http://barillari.org/~jdb/options.pdf

using the command
convert -thumbnail 100x options.pdf'[0]' thumb.jpg

For reference, I'm using 
$ convert -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 03/30/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC
on Debian Unstable.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://barillari.org/~jdb/thumb.jpg

Actual Results:  
I get the "image contains errors" message.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the image. (In fairness, IE doesn't display it, either -- but linux image-display programs do, so it's not totally hosed.)

Cofirmed on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060518 Minefield/3.0a1 ID:2006051807 [cairo]

Image seems correct, identified by imageMagick "identify" as 
thumb.jpg JPEG 100x129 100x129+0+0 DirectClass 2kb

Saved copy of the image don't display either.

 -> OS: All 
 -> Core/ImageLib

The Windows program SlowView (which I'm not sure is still available) displays this JPEG (and the two listed at bug 228960: attachment 207719 [details] and
http://www.coop99.at/darwins-nightmare/darwin/press/darwin_03.jpg [4MB])

IE6 does not display any of these correctly.  Opera 8.5 displays the "darwin" one OK, but not the other two.

Sample image from the dupe:
  http://www.dinodragon.com/CERTIFicate.jpg [762KB]

I'm asserting all of these images are similar because they all appear incorrectly, but legibly, using my old [version 1.D2 for Windows 95] copy of LView Pro, which displays the image with a vertical banding appearance that is quite odd.  Using a zoom-in utility, it appears that each vertical column of pixels in the original image is being somehow interpolated into two lines, with each column in a somewhat different color.  A closeup of the above image in certain low-density parts shows the columns alternating in CYMK, but that could be an artifact of the data.

OK, I found the very old bug about this...
