Description:
------------
When trying to create a gd image resource from this jpeg http://www.blueroot.net/~mike/wrc2003/dscf0216.jpg I get this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 6400 bytes) in /home/mike/public_html/wrc2003/test.php on line 5

The file is 778061 bytes.

This only happens with certain jpegs (straight from my camera), pictures that have been through gimp open perfectly.

# file ./dscf0216.jpg
./dscf0216.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard 0.77, 42 x 0

this is the output from 'file' on the problem file.



Reproduce code:
---------------
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("./dscf0216.jpg");

online here 

http://www.blueroot.net/~mike/wrc2003/test.php

Expected result:
----------------
Nothing (eg. no error)

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 6400 bytes) in /home/mike/public_html/wrc2003/test.php on line 5

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Opening images is a memory intensive operation, just because the file may appear to be small, it does not mean it's memory foot print is. If you manipulate images you should increase your memory limit to 20-30 megabytes to avoid these problems.

if this is not a bug, why does php 4.3.4 crash on this 
situation?
it totally died and can't be accessed anymore..

ignore my last comment..

but I couldn't find anything in the documentation about 
it, except in the users comments.. looks like a bad jpg 
file..

and looks like my browser is making some complains about 
it, and it won't display the site anymore, that's why I 
thought php was crashed.
