You mean, through a walkback rather than displaying the photo?

It's a weird photo. Scamper doesn't like it either, though in a different
way (i.e., it's not of a type that Scamper successfully negotiates with
the server).

No fix, but maybe this:

	http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/part1/section-15.html

will help a little. AFAICT, the headers are just missing. I saved it from
netscape, hoping that it would add something useful. But some of what it
added made Squeak hork. The faq above suggested that some of these missing
header types might contain recoverable images, but I'm not sure what IE
and Netscape are doing.

IE wanted to save it as a .bmp, but, apparently a compressed one, which
Squeak doesn't like.

Oh well. Time for bed :)
