I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 and RMagick 2.13.1 and I've been getting some strange intermittent errors with RMagick. They are basically one of the following two errors,
corrupt image `/home/cms/maah/production/core/../tmp/precache/Marine_biology_laboratory_woods_hole_mass_1892_jpg_1429x806_m.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3120
improper image header `/home/cms/maah/production/core/../tmp/precache/Watson_Cholesterol_Model_jpeg_451x409_m.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3082
Basically, the application is attempting to create a resized version of a source image.
When these images are uploaded, they are converted and resized no problem. Then, *some images* cause the errors when they are resized again.
If I try a third and subsequent time with the same images, then the resizing occurs no problem.
I have been unable to find any pattern to the errors nor isolate a particular image which will always fail and so cannot reliably reproduce the error. As I said, it is an intermittent error but is happening with enough regularity to cause me major headaches with the client.
Any suggestions or thoughts on where I go to from here would be greatly appreciated...
