Some more info

A png that loads nicely has an IHDR chunk, and IDAT chunk and an IEND.

A CCTV png that looks crummy has an unrecognised sRGB chunk (we keep a list in PNGReadWriter>>#processNextChunk and I de-commented the Transcript show of the list in PNGReadWriter>>#nextImage)

A sample png (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/img_png/pass7_sml.png) really does some oddness
- in a 5.3 image it displays without the R+G channels in the FileList preview but is fine if opened as a SketchMorph
- in a trunk image it displays perfectly well in both cases 
- but it has an unrecognised tEXt chunk

Both the tExt & sRGB are legitimate according to the standard but I doubt this can be the source of my current problem if an old 2.8 image can load the image properly.
