Bug Description
Binary package hint: gimp
Whenever I open this image in the Gimp is uses up all my available memory (1gb) and Swap Space 3GB before the Gimp is killed by the kernel.
imagemagick's Convert seems to handle it fine and can convert it to a png that is loadable with the gimp. Interestingly enough, if image magick is used to convert this png back to a jpg, the gimp still has problems loading it.

I forgot to add that this is on an up do date install of Feisty. It's an AMD 64 laptop. and I can provide more technical details if necessary.
