Hi,

For me it is a serious bug.

According to http://sourceforge.net/p/libjpeg-turbo/bugs/64/?page=1
(see http://sourceforge.net/p/libjpeg-turbo/bugs/64/?page=1):

>Even though I'm doing the most I can to stack the deck in favor of the bug, it still only occurs once in about every 25 million iterations.
>I have checked in your patch without modifications.

However, I am running it overnight so I can collect as many cases of >degenerate input images as I can, so I can hopefully determine what the upper bound is for the local buffer.

Thus I am tented to add it is a true bug.
