That is an astonishing response. Reminds me a bit of the first time EMC pointed out that while it was possible to have your data corrupted in their hash based storage system, it probably would never happen.

I was expecting "Here is new firmware and we apologize for using JBIG2, won't happen again."

One wonders if JBIG2 is used in the storing of checks by banks (my bank these days only sends me images of my checks, never the actual check any more) or DMV records, or any number of things.

So in the previous thread I suggested a JBIG2 test image, now I want to build one that if you copy it, it goes from one thing to something else entirely!
