Moving to fop-dev because it gets technical... After a lot of searching I think I know what's wrong. It's not the ASCII-85 filter behaving wrong. Chris' JPEG images contain trailing zero's after the FFD9 (EOI, end of image marker) which fill the images up to 16384 bytes. Now, I guess the error happens because the DCTDecode filter stops working after encountering the EOI marker. Because there is still some data unprocessed and because of the way images are currently written to PostScript this leads to an error.
I'm currently figuring out how best to solve this. I'm looking at the code from jpeg2ps which doesn't seem to have a problem with these JPEG files. The code in there is made to ignore any trailing bytes but processes the whole stream twice if I interpret correctly. Maybe looking for the EOI marker in our code and cutting off there is better performance-wise. But jpeg2ps' code is on the safe side in any case. Preferences anyone?
