Hi,

I'm getting the same error as #325 so this may be a duplicate. I think I have managed to narrow things down to a image-metadata problem on a single jpg (attached below). I'm on Arch Linux. Here we go:

> sxiv -v
sxiv 26
> pacman -Qi sxiv | grep Version
Version         : 26-1
> pacman -Qi imlib2 | grep Version
Version         : 1.7.1-1
> sxiv bad.jpg
# [image shows up OK, but then I press enter]
sxiv: Cannot allocate memory
> ll
total 2.5M
-rw-r--r-- 1 klm klm 2.5M Jan 14 14:15 bad.jpg
> convert bad.jpg -resize 1% -quality 1% bad-small.jpg
> sxiv bad-small.jpg
# [same symptom: image shows up OK, but then I press enter]
sxiv: Cannot allocate memory
# trying now with the image metadata stripped off
> convert bad.jpg -strip -resize 1% -quality 1% bad-small-stripped.jpg

This is the faulty image:
bad-small

I hope you guys can get an unmodified copy back from github. It should look like this:

> sha1sum bad-small.jpg 
d1f2440a61ea8fb00003388464483f04b6a3e5ce  bad-small.jpg

Since #325 was closed, and possibly had a different cause, I though I'd create a new issue. Thanks for the sxiv suite!
