"graphicsmagick identify" results in error "Backing store not supported " for a lot of jpegs, how to fix?

I'm using a tool to generate a photo album from my photo collection. This tool uses GraphicsMagick under the hood to generate thumbnails of the photos. Unfortunately , GraphicsMagick gives an error on a lot of photo's to get its properties, e.g.:

gm identify ./building.jpg

gives the following error:

C:\program files\graphicsmagick-1.3.42-q16\gm.exe identify: Backing store not supported (./building.jpg).
C:\program files\graphicsmagick-1.3.42-q16\gm.exe identify: Request did not return an image.

I have the feeling that it has something to do with GIMP as well, as it mostly happens on photos that were postprocessed using GIMP.

  • What does this error mean? I cannot find any pointer in the GraphicsMagick FAQ
  • Is the image corrupt? It appears normal in any photo viewer. The file I'm testing is building.jpg
  • Is there a way to get more debug output grom GraphicsMagick?
