Subject: python-imaging: JPEG problems on Alpha
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.3.4
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: python-imaging
Version: 1.1-2
Severity: important

I suspect this is a 64-bit problem.  The program consistently reports
"cannot identify image file" when dealing with JPEG images.  This behavior
does not manifest itself on i386.

I have noticed a lot of usage of longs in the C code.  This is very bad,
esp. when reading data from file -- a long is not always 4 bytes!
