[Image-SIG] buffer is not large enough

I was wondering if anyone has seen the "buffer is not large enough"
error before. I'm attempting to read in a TIF and write out a JPG. Is
it possible that the TIF is corrupted somehow? It seems remarkably
small. If you want to reproduce I've put the TIF file up at
http://inkdroid.org/tmp/x.tif

>>> import Image
>>> i = Image.open('x.tif')
>>> i.save('x.jpg')
Traceback (most recent call last):
