gifload_buffer: Wrong record type detected

[revathi-murali]

When vips_gifload_buffer is called internally from my project, I get the following error:

vips_realpath: unable to form filename\nunix error: No such file or directory\ngifload_buffer: Wrong record type detected\

We use giflib alpine package - https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/armhf/giflib

Note: The same gif file was working fine in vips - 8.7.4 but getting the error after upgrading to - 8.8.1.

Please refer to the below sample gif file that causes the error:

I relaxed the rules for GIT parsing a bit and it works now. Thanks for the report!

This will be in 8.8.2.

When 8.8.2 will be released?

[jcupitt]

No idea! Maybe a week or two?

After applying the patch 4b677fb, I get a different error for the sample gif below:

vips_realpath: unable to form filename
unix error: No such file or directory
gifload_buffer: bad frame size

Something is wrong with the gif image? Note: The same gif was working fine in v8.7.4.

Thanks for the new example -- I relaxed the rules again and your brush GIF loads now.

OK, I think this is all working now, I'll close.
