I have a JPEG file (below) that `identify` is no longer able to process. It fails with the error "lcms: Error #12288; Pointer error; probably corrupted file". Strangely `convert` doesn't have a problem with the file. Nor did `identify` from a previous IM version "6.6.9-7".

Nice photo. I don't have any problem with "identify -verbose flowers.png" with IM-6.8.8-10-Q16, on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
"ldd" says I'm running libjpeg version 8: libjpeg.so.8 => /home/glennrp/lib/libjpeg.so.8
So does "convert -list format | grep JPEG" (the "(80)" means version 8 ):
JPEG* rw- Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (80)

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Also libjpeg.so.8. List format also shows the same version. But I don't the issue is with decoding, since the error occurs strictly with identify: convert is able to load the file. I think "lcms" is the library responsible for the color profiles, so perhaps the problem is there...

...in any case though, with all other things equal the previous `identify` had no problem on this configuration. It's only when I built this newer version that I have the problem.

"ldd" says I have liblcms2.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblcms2.so.2

My system is using liblcms.so.1

Download and install LCMS 2 from http://www.littlecms.com/, then recompile IM

Installing lcms2 makes the problem go away.
