I suspected that, since it's improbable that you'd upload a nonworking file.

Yes, as it should:

The size seems to be valid, so resize keeps the aspect ratio, but other
than that: nothing. All white, except the gray background.

I would play with debug but realised that some dependencies prevent
me to cleanly compile it right now... so if you prepare any debug
version I'd try to run it.

I suspect something about the display code, without actually
looking at it.

You may email me privately and only cc the result into debbugs.
