GraphicsMagick does its best to detect corrupted images and return an 
error to the user.  If it did not do this, then it could be used to 
accidentally convert many corrupted images into legal images.  Then 
the problem would be multiplied.

Software which ignores truncated image file errors may be susceptible 
to "bomb" images which intentionally claim to be very large, but which 
are actually mostly just a file header.
