The issue is not "will it load?", but "can we reliably auto-detect a
JPEG file by examining the file header?"

The current check is limited enough in scope and has been used for
over a dozen years without incident.  Allowing for a larger number
of potential bytes carries a larger risk of mis-detection, which may
cause crashes, aborts, etc.
