Amazing. PNG is a recent enough graphics file format that
I would have expected even Microsoft to heavily bounds-
check any code that reads it. Guess not.

From another report: "Media Player doesn't properly
handle .png files with excessive width or height."

Pick up jaw. Sigh.

Microsoft still hasn't even implemented transparency in PNG. I soemtimes wonder what microsoft coders do all day. They must have =lots= of meetings at microsoft.

Not sure where you get this "recent enough" part. PNGS were available, royalty free circa 1996. We used them in a mud I was part of then.

What do you expect from the company that, after all the Y2K hype, puts out a Win2K OS that required manual tweaking to make it Y2K compliant? There seems to be madness in their methodology.

yeah, wonder if they don't bother to look at the return value of malloc because it would slow down their bloatware even more
