image viewer hangs

[peterzay]

Image Viewer hangs. Hard disk activity light always on. System very unresponsive due to image viewer hang.

System monitor shows
- eog 96% cpu
- gnome-system-monitor 12% cpu
- other processes (that I can see in 1 window without scrolling, sort on cpu column) at 0% cpu
( I thought these needed to add to 100% ???)

To reproduce the problem:
- download http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia16051_figure_1_raw_smaller-full.jpg (52.6 MB)
- double click on jpg file

My system RAM is 1 GB, so should be enough.
