Interesting! I'm usually able to load these images without a problem. Maybe 1 in 5 loads fails. Since they are all the same size, I would expect all calls to fail like this, or none, but that number is definitely not a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm now using the version of decodeByteArray that takes options with inSampleSize = 2, and can't get it to crash no matter how many images I try to process in a row, so the problem is gone for now, at least.
