Did it. Same.

Just did that, and it's the same as well.

But here's a little something to start with: if I deactivate progressive
decoding, it works fine! (And oh man, how bloody slow this code is ;-)).

So it seems progressive loading image code have some problems, and I
suspect there's not much error detection around. I have tried to pull
the unknown levers and push unknown buttons around decodeThread
and progressive_render but I didn't have the time to meet SDL for the
first time. :-) I wasn't able to make any difference.

So I guess I go and pester the upstream. Thanks.

Seems to be the former.

Thanks again for the packaging,
