Bug Description

Binary package hint: postr

Postr 0.12.3-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu 9.10 beta

I have occasionally found JPG files that, when added to Postr (0.12.2 and 0.12.3), cause it to consume 500MB RAM and for all-intents-and-purposes hang (though it might eventually become usable again if left, I've never tried).

The JPG file never appears in the queue and Postr becomes unresponsive.

The specific JPG I have attached was created from an Olympus E-420 .ORF RAW file using UFRaw 0.15-2ubuntu1, it is 17.3 MB large.
