A JPEG file with some corrupt data causes the JVM to crash. Note that other programs such as xv are able to nevertheless load the image.

A test case and image demonstrating the problem are attached.

Here's the output from running the program:

java J2DImageTest 3026A.jpg

Note that 1.5-beta seems to have fixed this problem. It prints out the following and loads the image:
