[Image-SIG] IOError: image file is truncated, 312 bytes left in buffer

[Paul Keeley]

I am using the same file.  If I do 
img = Image.open("original.bmp")
img.save("newfile.tif")

it generates the error.  If I do 
img = Image.open("original.bmp")
img.show()
img.save("newfile.tif")

it does not.

When the conversion is finished the image does seem to be correct.  

Thanks,
Paul
