I am creating a buffered image through ImageIO by reading a jpeg image. I am creating an array list and adding this image to it. I am writing this image as well as the thumbnail list (same image is written as image as well as thumbnail) to a file. Writing process is successful. But when I read the image from this file through ImageIO.read(), I am getting an IIOException: Bogus marker length. This happens only when I use the same image as primary image as well as thumbnail image.

This is noticed right from JDK1.4 on all platforms.

I have attached the test and the image. Execute the test. If you get the following exception on the console, the bug is reproduced.
