Surely you want to help us help you as much as possible. Provide for us
a problem image.

How? Even supposing I was willing to either expose confidential data or
infringe San Diego Photos and Prints's copyright, where am I supposed to
host a 50MB png file on short notice? You might not have noticed, but
Imageshack and similar such sites emphatically do NOT support hosting
images that big. I have not been able to find a problem png on the web. And
is "download this 13MB jpg and then convert it to interlaced png" really
much more onerous than just "download this 50MB png"?

Clearly nobody is going to go to the effort to attempt to diagnose your
problem without a known bad image file. Surely you can obfuscate one of
your faulty images and make it available somewhere? The problem is
intriguing, that's why I haven't Kd this thread. But it is not
intriguing enough to get me to buy Adobe or to attempt to create a
defective file without some actual knowledge that it is in fact
defective. Your choice.

Once more, with feeling:

Make it available /where/? Again, the consumer image hosting sites don't
take images that big. They'll resize it to something much smaller if
they'll even let me upload it to begin with.

Send me an email and I'll give you a place to send it. I can make it
available to anyone else that wants to work on it.

Fwiw., have you looked at dropbox.com ?

Here's an example of how download of a dropbox'ed image works for
others: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ig5yt2v1thsgncd/IMG_0241.JPG

According to the "help center":
< Files uploaded through the website [...] have a 300 MB cap.

that should be enough for the case at hand.

Now, that the webspace-issue should be solved, you can tile
up any d-cam photo (if you like, also the one I linked as example)
to the necessary size, so no need to infringe anyone's copyrights.

PS: Can't promise any help on the actual bug, though.

If you have a GMail account you should also have Google Drive.
