Description:
------------
problem with opening and saving some png images using imagecreatefrompng() and then save it using imagepng($image,$file).
Image opens OK but when saved, the resulting image has broken alpha channel.
Happens with some png images.

Input image to test is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/c6ne72bobrt2iz9/logo_orig.png?dl=0

Resulting image with problem is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/xs4b4bv6208hiua/logo_new.png?dl=0


Test script:
---------------
$im = imagecreatefrompng("logo_orig.png");
imagepng($im,"logo_new.png");
imagedestroy($im);

Expected result:
----------------
saved image should look the same as an input image

Actual result:
--------------
saved image is completely distorted.

You need to preserve the alpha channel explicitly by calling
imagesavealpha()[1], e.g.

<?php
$im = imagecreatefrompng("orig.png");
imagesavealpha($im, true);
imagepng("new.png");
?>
