All I find in there is

PNGReadWriter2>>primPNGReadImageFromByteArray: source onForm: form
	
	self primitiveFailed

PNGReadWriter2>>primPNGReadInfoFromByteArray: source onForm: form
	
	self primitiveFailed

I'm a little confused to see statements like here in the plugin:

    formPix isNil ifTrue: [formPix := 1].

this should be translated to isNil(formPix) and as far as I am aware 
there is no such function available anywhere. Also, it seems as if there 
are some serious hazards for decoding the PNG data - the code doesn't 
set a limit for the source of input when decoding so I presume libpng 
will simply fall over and break (possibly corrupting Squeak memory) if 
you give it partial input?
