ebb returns incorrect size for jpeg

[Adam Lee]

Sir,

I believe that, on my Ubuntu system, the utility "ebb" (Extract Bounding Box, version 20090708) does not return the correct size of a JPEG file. In the output below, you will see that another utility, "identify", shows correctly that the size of a sample JPEG file is 3648 x 2736 pixels, while ebb reports that the same file has size 2627 x 1970. The same results are observed on machines running the 32 and 64 bit versions of the kernel.
