Some jpeg images are no more rendered

[PeterPall]

I frequently make huge jpeg images using hugin. In ubuntu natty, oneiric and precise I was able to view them using geeqie and shotwell was able to import them. In quantal geeqie shows a black image instead filling the preview with static. Shotwell on the other hand complains about a hardware error.

Seems like what triggers the bug is the size of the image in pixels, not in megabytes.

Did attach a 2897X2113 jpeg image (20120612_191629-20120612_191723.jpg) to this bug report the bug can be reproduced with. After opening the same image with the gimp and exporting it as jpeg it can be viewed again.

Problem affects not only geeqie but also shotwell - so it is most probably due to a limitation in the library doing the jpeg handling for both programs.
