 I just loaded a 530 KB image with the gdk-pixbuf loader mechanism (with
 the gtk-demo program) and it worked fine.  Please provide a sample
 picture and mention which part of Gtk API you're using if that's
 relevant.

 For reference, this is what identify told me on the test image I used:
/usr/share/gtk-2.0/demo/alphatest.png JPEG 2048x1536 DirectClass 573kb 

 You can test gdk-pixbuf loaders by overwriting the above image from
 gtk2.0-examples and running "Images" from gtk-demo.
