Matlab Crash in imread

Hey Guys, My matlab crashes each time a read a specific image ( attached ) ,

The code I run is very plain :

imread('frame593.jpg');

I followed the code with breakpoints up to rjpg8c ( mex file ) in which matlab crashes. To make it clear , when I say crash , I mean a literal crash ( "Matlab has stopped working" ) not just an error.

I have similiar images which I easily read ( you might notice that this is frame593 from a about 2000 frames which I can read )

Would love for any ideas how to solve this, Thanks, Alandor

Alandor - you were serious about MATLAB crashing when it reads this image! :)

The same thing happened to me when I ran the same line of code against the attached image. There were three warnings in the console

 Warning: JPEG library error (8 bit), "Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment"." 
 Warning: JPEG library error (8 bit), "Invalid JPEG file structure: two SOI markers"." 
 Warning: JPEG library error (8 bit), "Bogus Huffman table definition"."

Some other details (besides the stack trace and other stuff)

 Bus error detected ...

 Abnormal termination:
 Bus error

 This error was detected while a MEX-file was running. If the MEX-file
is not an official MathWorks function, please examine its source code
for errors. Please consult the External Interfaces Guide for information
on debugging MEX-files.

 If this problem is reproducible, please submit a Service Request via:

Since the image is viewable in other applications (even in this browser), then you might as well open the image in one of these other applications and save it (again) as a jpeg. I was able to do so, and could view the newly saved (and named) image with

 img = imread('frame593a.jpg');

Since this is reproducible, you may want to follow the advice from the error and contact The MathWorks.

I believe Ashish Uthama at the Mathworks is responsible for image formats. He sometimes monitors this forum or just call tech support and they may direct it to him.
