Icon that causes the buffer overflow in xv

Background
=======

I have www-client/opera-12.16_p1860-r1 installed. I also have Fvwm2 and stalonetray (the systray application). I noticed (like many others before me) that the Opera systray icon has a white background. This does not match the grey background of my stalonetray. My quest to find the curlprit icon and change its background was unsuccessful to this time, no matter what.

Desperate to try everything I could imagine, I thought I would have a look at the icon in my home opera dir with xv:

xv /home/XXX/.opera/icons/http%3A%2F%2Fwww-static.operacdn.com%2Fstatic-heap%2Fc9%2Fc99c9a52c1cfc381bf288f14c16397c1cdc8f0e2%2Fspeed-dial-icon.png

But instead of an icon, I got:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: xv terminated; report to <http://bugs.gentoo.org/>

What on earth is THIS? :shock:

Some info
======

To let you reproduce the error, I will create an attachment with the icon file in question. Use at your own risk. 

I have media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r17 installed with these USE flags:

Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-10-21 04:01:32 UTC
You ought to try and obtain a gdb backtrace, because it's entirely unclear whether the overflow occurs in an X11 library, in the PNG library or in xv itself.
