Thank you for your report, I will look into this. Can I use this image as textcase in Image::Info, e.g. redistribute it freely? In addition, Image::Info is really deprecated, please use something else if possible. (I am just maintaining it and fixing the most glaring bugs). All the best, Tels

Sure. I'll check with my colleague who took it, but unless I tell you otherwise, go for it. Show quoted text

Uh oh. Really? From working in the code for a little bit, I can see why - but for the API there isn't anything that's quite as nice. Hmn. I'll see if I can shuffle our code around so we don't need Image::Info. - ask -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/

There's a "bug" in the headers of the image. This patch stops the bug causing the infinite loop.

This bug should be resolved with v1.25. If there are any more problems, please do not hesitate to either re-open this bug, or open a new one. Thank you for your report! Tels
