It only fails on the 'jpg' file types (jpg/jpeg/JPG/JPEG) - but 'jpg' is first in the list.

Works on Oracle JDK 8u31 and with openjdk-7-jdk:

Looking for initWriterIDs in Oracle JDK8 gives a hit in its bundled libjpeg.so:

stain@biggie-utopic:~/software/jdk1.8.0_31$ grep -r initWriterIDs .
Binary file ./jre/lib/amd64/libjpeg.so matches
Binary file ./jre/lib/rt.jar matches
Binary file ./lib/ct.sym matches

but libjpeg.so is not in /usr/lib//jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
