BREAKING NEWS
Newest member of the axis of evil: Adobe
I dont know whats up, but recently a small percentage of JPEGs, produced by Photoshop and then run through ImageMagick for resizing, have the ability to crash all versions of Internet Explorer I have handy (5.0 5.5 6.0). Well, they don't crash, they just won't load any more images after attempting to load the evil image.
Does anyone know of a solution for this problem?
This would actually make for a pretty good DOS attack. What if I would take these images and load em up to lets say ebay?

Thank youVERY VERY much. That must be it.
I already figured out it had something to do with "Save for web" vs. "Save as...", but it's good to have a definitive answer. The work around is ok for the current project because we have full control over all images.
It is quite hard to believe that this crashes the latest IE, but well, I shouldn't be suprised, should I?
