Hi,

a Sketch user has told me about a problem with the PNG decoder. When I
try to load the file http://www.online.de/home/sketch/Images/usengl.png

I get the following exception:

Python 1.5.2 (#3, Apr 21 1999, 16:51:54)  [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2

>>> import Image
>>> Image.open('usengl.png')
<PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile instance at 8171fe0>
>>> _.load()
Traceback (innermost last):
