Comment 9 for bug 90198

Maybe I wasn't clear above. ALL png-writing software is affected by this bug. While I might be able to get by using JPG for screenshots (ugly ones) I also do fractal artwork renders with PNG output. To wait 15-20 hours for a render to complete only to have it fail writing the PNG in the last step is a very frustrating prospect (that I unfortunately am very familiar with now.)

I feel that I have to change my OS because this is an intermittent (read: hard to prove exists) bug in an oft-used library for a very specific processor/motherboard combination, and since I have run across noone who has had issues like this so far, I find it unlikely that in my uniqueness I will effect change. If there IS a problem in libpng, then great, I helped out. But in the meantime, I still have to make the machine work for all of its intended purposes, and so far I can't make any flavor of Ubuntu cooperate with all of my needs. Hopefully this bug can be resolved in short order, because I hate to leave my Beryl desktop behind.
