We should have a better fix for this in the next Thumbnailer landing: rather than blacklisting large GIF files, I worked out how to convince gdk-pixbuf to stop once we read enough to decode the first frame.

This makes the attached 45MB GIF file thumbnail almost instantly, without ballooning memory usage or having to read the entire file.
