are you using the same file, or do you mean that it works for some files and
not for others?

when PIL succeeds, does the output image look right?

(the "image file is truncated, 312 bytes left in buffer" error message means
that there is 312 bytes left in the input buffer, but that's not enough to fill
an entire row of pixels)
