Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. For a mx.Image component, set img.source="thumb.jpg". Decoding fails.

Happens both at run time, and at design time in Flex Builder 3.

Actual Results:
Decoding certain JPEG images failes. The two attached ones are examples - similar failure observed on other images also.

Expected Results:
Decoding should work. Attached JPEG decodes properly in every other application tested (IE, Firefox, Gimp, MS Office Photo Manager, browsers on mobile phones, etc.)

Workaround (if any):
Re-saving the image (e.g. in Gimp) works. However, there are thousands of similar images stored in a database, and re-encoding all of them is not practical.
