[Bug 58226] eog closes silently when asked to open a corrupt png

[James Troup]

Public bug reported:

I have a PNG here which has been corrupted (in transport via email) -
eog silently exits when asked to open the image.  This behaviour is very
confusing for the average user who clicks on the (broken) attachment in
their MUA and ... nothing happens.

Unfortunately I can't provide the image in question as it's a scan of
someone's passport.  However both file(1) and xloadimage(1) recognise
the PNG as corrupt:

$ file passport.png; xloadimage passport.png
passport.png: PNG image data, CORRUPTED,
 PNG file: passport.png - PNG file corrupted by ASCII conversion
passport.png: unknown or unsupported image type
$

So presumably libpng is detecting the corruption and eog just isn't
handling that very gracefully.
