7.8 alpha 2

[Jonas Walld�n @ Pike developers forum]

Why does it rule out 64-bit systems?

Testcase that works:

  darjeeling:jwtmp $ ./bin/pike
  Pike v7.8 release 4 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)
  > string s = Stdio.read_bytes("/tmp/jwtmp/testimg.jpg");
  > object i = Image.JPEG.decode(s);                      
  > i;                                                    
  (1) Result: Image.Image( 227 x 149 /* 99.1Kb */)
  > Image.JPEG.encode(i);                                 
  (2) Result: "د؈\0\20JFIF\0\1\1..."

Testcase that breaks:

  darjeeling:jwtmp $ ./bin/pike
  Pike v7.8 release 4 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)
  > Image.TIFF;                                           
  (1) Result: _Image_TIFF
  > string s = Stdio.read_bytes("/tmp/jwtmp/testimg.jpg");
  > object i = Image.JPEG.decode(s);                      
  > i;                                                    
  (2) Result: Image.Image( 227 x 149 /* 99.1Kb */)
  > Image.JPEG.encode(i);
