It was quite a bit of time ago when I was looking into this, so I may not
recall all the details. This patch fixed several problems: first one is
with decoding the JPEG data, and that was a real bug causing corrupted
images being produced, and I haven't digged into the source of it inside
of libjpeg; another one is that Initialize() doesn't really try to decode
the image data, and that leads to CopyPixels() failures later on when it's
not really expected (e.g. for broken images), and that also makes QueryCapability()
report success while subsequent CopyPixels() fails. I have a test program
that converts any WIC image to other WIC formats to test converting images
from many different sources (mainly from libtiff/libjpeg samples) and that
was one of the problems found during my testing.
