 Hi Mitch, 
 
 Thanks for the response.

 Nice command eheh. Here is the result:
 $ identify snapshot.jpg
 snapshot.jpg JPEG 2036x676+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 119.5kb 0.000u 0:01
 
 Which seems to render ~11MB. I think my system can handle it...

 Well, it exits.. does not hang :)

 It is disabled by default in FC2.
 What I fail to understand is why it crashes only with mozilla/gecko-based
 browsers. It won't with Konqueror..

 I still haven't had the time to generate a new unsensitive JPEG. Would
 you mind test it, if I get another?
