Description

We have found that certain images could not be read with imaging, even they usually appear to be fine. This is the stack trace:

java.io.IOException: Could not read block (block start: 442, block length: 8861, data length: 9301).

Further research showed that these images usually are made with a certain type of camera. I have searched flicker and found a image which shows the same problems. (This image does not belong to me, but I guess this should be fine for testing purposes)
