Well, ImageMagick complains that the image contains errors (altought
Eye of Gnome shows it with no artifacts), so it's likely to be part of the
file itself.

I get both

"display: Premature end of JPEG file"

and

"display: Invalid JPEG file structure: two SOI markers"

errors. The later error prevent ImageMagick's display-command from
displaying the image (but not Eye of Gnome).

Looked, looked, but where to start ? The bug could be anywhere from my
script to binascii module to the nntp module to the string.join -function.
