The OP indicated that NetSurf was being used, therefore presumably its
own routines?
Could it be a .bmp format not currently understood by NetSurf?
I say this because NS seems quite tolerant to corruption! If you take a
.bmp file and delete a chunk in !Edit (or similar) you will see that
although corrupted, the file will often display in NetSurf when other
programs can complain that the file is corrupt.
