Akk!  Didn't know about this one.  I am just working on a stack which  
will take any number of jpgs dropped in a folder by a user, then   
organise them (into various categories) and then display them (in  
various ways).  It is a dead cert that it will encounter corrupted/ 
nonstandard jpgs.  Just in case  this bug hasn't been squashed, is  
there anything to watch out for?  Does the recipe necessarily include  
importing?  I only propose referencing images (in 2.7.4)
