unable to open jpg file

[xah lee]

I open a jpg file, and emacs reports:

File mode specification error: (error "Invalid image specification")

I do not know whether this jpg file is considered techincally  
corrupt, but i can open it in any image program without getting a  
error, including: ImageMagick, Gimp, Mac's Preview and GraphicConverter.

This is not the only image that emacs report this error. There are many.

I'm sorry, but the image in question is porn. I don't have examples  
that's not porn. Just go to youporn.com and drag any of their  
thumbnail to disk, it should result a jpg, then try open it in emacs.
