406966 - Firefox dies on loading certain PNGs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 166862

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Firefox 2.x can't load the following image:
http://libpng.org/pub/png/img_png/16million.png
but displays an error message.

Firefox 3.0b1 crashes with:

The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 46176 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
