Hello Matthew,

I've also been using the jpegARMlet library by Matthew Fleming, and
have been quite happy with it. Your reply here seems to imply that
you've brewed your own version of the ARMlet. The only real problem
I've had with jpegARMlet has been that it will crash if you provide it
with a corrupt JPEG. Have you ever noticed this? With your experience
working with the ARMlet, do you think it'd be terribly difficult to
patch this? I don't have any experience with ARMlets, so I've never
looked into it.

Adrien.
